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.

INJURY UPDATE

So as some of you may already know, we have had some injuries/illnesses of late. Jacob started with a fever and vomiting last Saturday and just stopped yesterday; this morning he awoke with a rash....gotta love these Scottish viruses!
And Alexander, while tackling someone playing American football, fell and broke his collar bone last Sunday morning....the fun never ends.
Fortunately, Jacob is starting to feel better and no one else has come down with it so far and Alexander has been a real trooper with his shoulder. He says it doesn't hurt and the only bad part is that he can't go out and play as he loves to do. He can still go to school and is getting very good at writing with his left hand. He has to sit on a bench outside at recess and lunch and watch all the other children playing, which I am sure is very difficult for him. However, he has an excellent brother, who I am told, has been sitting on the bench with him this whole week.....aaawwwhhhh!
So here are some pictures to go along with these tales:
First Jacob this morning, if you enlarge the photo you may be able to see the rash
And next Alexander in his sling, which he has to wear all the time, under his clothes. We put a new one on last night after his bath cause the old one was getting kinda grimy. Since my nice, white, medical tape didn't stick too well, he was all to happy to use hockey tape instead!
Although they are not injured, the other two had to get their shots done this morning as well, so here is Hannah with one of her many purses....
And Benjamin wanted a picture taken of his belly button...so here he is!

We go back to get another Xray on Wednesday next week to make sure Alexander's bone is healing properly and then we shall see how much long he needs to take it easy. Benjamin will be off to football after school today, which may prove to be the hardest day for Alexander as he will have to sit and watch.
Hope you are all doing well.

Hi Ya'll....Glad to see more pictures of my "Little Ones".. Alexander, you must be a strong boy to still have a smile on after your tumble during the tackle..It will probably be hard to take it easy and watch the others play but I am sure your brother will be there to keep you company so you won't be lonely..Benjamin, I wanted to see your smile not your belly button..HaHa!!Hope Jacob is feeling better and Hannah still has the most gorgeous smile...Love you all......Grammie Weir
