I am
retired and am now a full time grandmother with 3 grandchildren Since
the last time Isubmitted information, my daughter has had identical twin
girls, Maddison and Gemma, who are now going on 2 years old. We hope to
be in Israel next year - so far its been too hectic helping out with the
twins, only someone who has had twins will truly recognise how difficult
that is. Louis deVries once said, the first three years are hell. Whilst
it hasn't quite been that it has had its moments. |
