Shawn, Bev, and Family

Welcome to the twinhouse! Shawn and I were married in 1997 and have been blessed (yes, blessed!) with 2 sets of twins. Alexander and Benjamin were born in 2002 and Hannah and Jacob joined the family in 2004. We created this blog to keep friends and family updated on the excitement in the twinhouse.

Canada Day in Scotland

We were fortunate to be able to spend Canada Day with some Canadian friends. We all enjoyed a BBQ (which had to be done under the bridge here as it was pouring rain!), great salads, and a marvelous cake. It was great food and great company to celebrate with. Later in the evening, it even stopped raining so we could do sparklers....I don't think I had done sparklers since I was a kid! It was great although the children were a little scared of them at first. So here are our photos from our little celebration.
Here is the great cake

Here is Jacob playing with a sparkler....unfortunately he was too scared to hold it and by the time I convinced him to try, the sparkler was pretty much done.
Alexander was a little uncertain about his turn as well

Here is Benjamin with his sparkler.

Here are some of the children celebrating. Benjamin is showing off his Canada tatoo; something that all the children got on their arms.

We hope you all had great celebration as well. We look forward to seeing photos of your celebrations.....Hint Hint!!

Hi there,
Wow, what a cool cake! Wish I was there to see those sparklers too. I don't think I would hold one but I would have loved to see them. I didn't get to see the fireworks......I fell asleep.
Your cuz,
Austin
