I wanted to ask about this topic as it has a deep impact on how twins relate to each other. This will be good future reference for other Navy Twin Moms as their sons leave for BC. I only have one…Continue

Comment by SheisaSeabee Ship11/Div420 on December 22, 2013 at 8:41pm: Yes! Thank you! My CM daughter will be heading home from Port Hueneme for the holidays. I'm not sure who is more excited, me or her twin sister! :-) We can't wait!
Merry Christmas to all the families and a very Happy New Year!

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on December 22, 2013 at 5:55pm: It's so wonderful to hear all this good news!
CO-twin... Congrats to Sam for making PO3 and for graduating Nuke A-school. I know you are going to have a special Christmas with him, even though his brither cant be there too. I got to hug a couple Nukes at the airport last night along with many other Sailors and service members. It was such an honor to be with the local Blue Star Moms chapter and helping them welcome home our brave men and women.

DoubleTrouble... That sounds like an absolutely WONDERFUL Birthday. How cool that everyone at there old job welcomed them home in a big way. Enjoy the time you have with your handsome boys.

CMS76... so glad to hear your Sailor is coming home too. I know the boys will enjoy spending time together and sharing stories. Hug him extra tight before he leaves again.

Cathy...are your boys coming home for Christmas? I hope so!

How about you Disy? Are both of the girls going toto make it home for Christmas? I sure hope so!

Kandra... How about you? Are any of your boys going to make it home for Christmas? I hope so!

Ellen... How about you? Do you get to be with your twinstwins and younger son?

Sheisaseabee... Are your twins going to be home for the holidays??

I know I've missed a few members...I hope you all get to make wonderful memories with your Sailors and twins.

My sister and brother are coming out to my Mom's house for the holiday, so we will all get to be together. Then two days later Jonathan leaves with the marching band and we leave a day later and Nathanael leavwe with the church youth group for Pasadena. So excited! After we get through all this, I think the next few months are going to pick up the pace and it will be time to hug my boy goodbye as he leaves for BC.

Oh and one more bit of good news...Twin #1 got accepted to Northern Arizona University and he sent his application to Montana State University two weeks ago. He has one more application to send to University of Nevada-Reno and then he just has to figure out where hee wants to go and of course if we can afford it! LOL

Comment by doubletrouble on December 21, 2013 at 7:21am: OMG! I can't believe my babies are home! Yesterday was the best birthday ever! It is such a blessing having all my boys home again. They were all so happy to see each other and the dogs, wow, that was priceless! The twins were afraid the dogs wouldn't remember them, but boys were they wrong!
I think I told y'all we planned with the boys to go eat at Texas Roadhouse when they got home & that we had people there waiting to surprise them. Well, that was so fun! The boys were SO surprised! When we got there all the kitchen staff yelled welcome home & the little waitresses all attacked them wanting hugs, of course they were in uniform. The girlfriends rushed back to where the party was waiting & when we finally made it to that section of the restaurant & the boys saw eveyone, they were a little overwhelmed! I think they almost cried! Luckily one of the waitresses got it one video, when I get it I will try to post it.
I will post pics soo, later today we will be surprising my family at our Christmas get together!
I am loving all of this! Life is so wonderful!! Be blessed & Merry Christmas!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 21, 2013 at 12:37am: CSMS76. You enjoy yours too, he is coming home? And the other has not gone till March, so do you get both?
Who else has sailors home? Are their twin or triplet excited?

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on December 20, 2013 at 2:46pm: So proud of my Samuel. He is officially a PO. Just graduated from A school this morning be home sunday!!

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on December 18, 2013 at 4:14pm: Yippee Doubletrouble!!! And Happy Birthday. That IS the best birthday gift ever! Definitely take LOTS of photos. Enjoy this special time with your Sailors.

CMS...i sure hope you get your Christmas wish. I doubt they would tell him to buy a ticket if he wouldn't be able to take leave. Keep us up to date.

Yes, we lead a crazy busy life. Not sure what we will so after the boys leave the nest. This trip will almost be like we are without children. Jonathan leaves on Friday after Christmas and Nathanael leaves on Saturday with the church youth group. We are leaving on Saturday too. Nathanael will be decorating a float for the Lutheran Women's League. And of course Jonathan will be with the band the whole time. Which means, Dad and I get to enjoy our vacation without kids mostly.
