The Really Big News
posted by Brian at 10:46 PM

My last entry focussed on what many called The Most Important Election in Their Lifetime. Big News, to be sure. But something else was so big that I just haven't been able to grapple with it enough to write about it until now. This event has surely reshaped the landscape with an outcome many thought wasn' t possible.

So what fun is a blog if you don't post something about politics after a big national election? That's right, no fun at all. So, here goes...

Amy and I sometimes compare notes about what people say to us when we’re out in public. Bopping around town with twins automatically makes for a sort of circus act in the eyes of others, it seems, so it’s common to field comments. It’s not too annoying most of the time, and it’s always well-intentioned, but it does get kind of funny. The most common comment is probably, “Well, you’ve got your hands full!” (As if we didn’t know that.) Another one near the top of the list would have to be, “Double trouble!” (Yes, the exclamation point is necessary.) The funniest question, though, is, of course, “Are they identical?” This becomes especially memorable when it’s already clear that Franny and Jamie are a girl and a boy…

So my last posting on this site was in December of 2002. And like most new parents, I communicated something about the birth of our children, then disappeared (at least in terms of this site). That kind of thing used to irritate me a little. Friends would have a kid, and we would almost never hear from them again. Now it's easy to see why.

Coming Home

As you no doubt know by now, Amy and I welcomed our two children to the world last Thursday night, the 5th of December. I know it’s a real cliche, but it was truly one of the most amazing days of my life. Also one of the longest, but more on that later. The sight of Frances emerging into the world was miraculous, and it just as incredible when James came out. I’m also really happy that we didn’t give in to the temptation to find out their genders before they were born. The sight of a girl and a boy, when we didn’t know what was coming, was just tremendous. It made me think of all those times I’ve heard fathers say that seeing their children born was the most incredible day of their lives. I’ve always thought, “I’m sure it was, but, you know, children are born every day, so how incredible can it be?” Well, now I get it.
