Baby Hands & Feet
These little hands will grow to be,
big and strong and helpful, you see.
These teeny-tiny little toes,
will carry this body that grows and grows.
This precious, sweet and radiant smile,
will help me go the extra mile.
...And deep inside, a soul and heart,
Destined to be special from the start.

Emails from a Proud Dad...

My friends,
This is to let you know that the Thompson (in uttero) got the twenty week exam today ... As it urns out, there is a 13 oz boy type child, HB 149, OAL 6" head to bum and a12 oz girl type child, HB 143, OAL 6" head to bum ... both passed the "is all of it there" test with flying colors and both look exactly as the should at 20 weeks.
We struggled with the dilemma of finding out the genders for a while but it really only mattered that they were developing well and healthy. All of our hopes for this exam were met and then some. We thanks all of you for your continued prayers and look forward to the day all of you can say "hi" to them.
Sing-cere-lead
Don & DeeDee Thompson

Dear Family and Friends
As promised, the road carries on and the youngin's are a growin'! Yesterday the doctors were well pleased with the progress of the twins so I thought I'd share it with you, with Deedeee's permission and endorsement:
The boy is 1lb 10oz and the girl is 1lb 6oz ... heart beats are 138 and 143 respectively ... the girl was having a gymnastics class (wouldn't hold still) but the Doctor got this profile of the boy ... For me, it is the first time the "human" view ever showed ... until now they were alive and well ... but now there is a face ... ain't it cool ?
We continue to thank you all for your prayers and good wishes ... we look forward to the day when you can meet them ...
Love to All
Deedee and Don

My friend Cathy sent this to me and since we are doing the Noah's Ark theme I though I would share this with you.
Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark...
One: Don't miss the boat.
Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do! something really big.
Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six: Build your future on high ground.
Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.
Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting
