My twin grand daughters are here and both they and mom are doing great! Just born this morning around 9 AM (2/7/14) by C-sect. Both are very cute... Not sure yet if they are identical or fraternal twins. [They were in separate 'sacs'.] Baby "A" (back): Angelina, 4lbs 9 oz, 17 inches. Baby "B" (front): Milena, 5lbs 5 oz, 18 inches. [E2: Ooops! The little one is actually in the front (with the heart monitor).] Siblings to 'big' brother Michael; [oblivious to just what happened] and now ~ 13.5 months old... Edit3: Angelina (in white) and Milena ( in pink) dressed to go home. Identical or not; mom says that they are individuals, and will always dress them differently... Proud grandpa holding the 1 day old twins in the hospital room. Minutes after being born. __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

Thank you all for all your nice comments/wishes. All babies are a nice blessing from God! We spent most of today again helping-out and enjoying the events. Angelina and Milena are getting cuter by the hour/day. Mom and babies will be going home on Tuesday. I may add a few more pics (to post #1) in a day (or 2)... __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

Some of you suggested that I should now grow more figs trees... Driving home the twins, their mom did remark that within 2 years, they are now a family of 5 mouths! I just noticed that (hint, hint..) Jon does have one fig specimen called 'Angelina' in his data base - a must have... __________________ George, NJ_z7a.
