I found this in your archives, had no idea chitter and chatter are twins. what a wonderful story. now i assume they will be 14 this Sept?
Happy Birthday Chitter and Chatter! You’re both still as cute as buttons! Much love and hugs. xxoo
Babies change your whole world. Twins doubly, I bet!
Happy happy late birthday, Chitter and Chatter!
Happy birthday to Chitter and Chatter. Those babies were beautiful and they are growing into beautiful young women.
Tipper I wanted you to know that the deer hunter looks almost identical to a friend that I went to school with. His name is Rob Miller and I had to do a double take when I saw that top photo. Wow! Some day I will round up a photo and email it to you. Amazing!
Wow! I can’t imagine my babies ever being that big! They are so beautiful, and Happy Birthday to Chitter and Chatter!
Happy Birthday to your girls! Wow, aren’t children the greatest joy on earth!? We have one daughter, and she has been the joy of our lives….now the grandson has multiplied this family’s blessings! God bless your family!
Happy Birthday to the Girls!
Time does fly by.
They both are just beautiful.
Now Tipper, don’t you think it is about time for another one? lol…
I enjoyed seeing all the pictures of your family. You are truly blessed.
Have a great weekend.

Awww – Happy Birthday, Chitter & Chatter. And Happy Anniversary to you, Tipper and DH! Probably the anniversary of both parenthood and the last day you slept late 🙂
Morning Tipper! What beautiful photos!
Have a wonderful and happy birthday and year, Chitter and Chatter! :))
Happy Birthday Chitter and Chatter. those pictures were great, I love how they look like them..if you know what I mean.
Tipper,
Happy Birthday to Chitter and Chatter. Twins must be so much fun, but a handful when they were babies, I’m sure.
Take care and enjoy your weekend.
Blessings,
Mary
This is such a wonderful post. Happy birthday to the girls. Great pictures. Isn’t it it funny how we all think we have it figured out….until we have kids!
Wow, I totally missed that the girls are twins–what a wonderful thing for all of you!
Happy Birthday, Chitter and Chatter!
Happy Hormones, too! (Oh, sure, they’re all sweet and cute in these bithday pics post, but I saw how she was lookin’ at you when you were invading their camp!)

Oh, Happy Birthday to them both!
I love them together in their hospital bed – precious!
Happy Birthday Ladies! Wow, I didn’t realize our girls were so close in age. I should’ve by all the things they do in common, like building places in the woods and liking rocks. The time goes so fast! The photos are absolutely charming.

That picture of them as babies with the hats on is SO precious!!!!
Happy Birthday to your girls.
A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your darling gals!!!!
I think about twelve years ago my wife and I thought we had it all figured out as well! Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday! Is that a brown crayon and a coloring book in your hand in the first photo? 🙂 And love the Earnhardt shirt, you must have a NASCAR fan on your hands. Lord have mercy! Heehee, I’ve just had some interesting conversations with customers at our sports business who are the most passionate racing fans, and I even had a FedEx guy show up once who had a Kevin Harvick tattoo on his leg!
Love it! So sweet. Happy Birthday Chitter and Chatter. And Tipper, you look the same. No aging in your court!
happy happy birthday…..
Happy, Happy Birthday to the girls!! The pictures are wonderful~thanks for taking us down your memory lane!
Mary

Happy Birthday to your “babies”! My babies (boys) turned 25 in June. Time sure flies by so enjoy it. Before you know it they’ll be giving you grandchildren as mine have now.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful children! I can tell they are blessed in so many ways. I too, wish along with Granny Sue that all girls could grow up like yours, with freedom, imagination and grit.
Dont you hate how fast time flies? I love the joys of my children and the many wonderful things I’ve learned from them, but if only they could stay little longer!
Happy birthday to the twins, Chitter and Chatter. They were precious babies and now are such fine young teens.
I think twins are so special. My aunt and uncle were twins and called “Punch and Judy”.
My twin great nephews are already pulling tricks on their teachers and they are in the second grade this year.
What fun it must be to have twins and to be twins.

I loved this post, Tipper! The picture of you and the Deerhunter, looking so self-assured, is priceless!
You guys were doubly blessed that day twelve years ago. Your girls are such dolls, and their lively personalities just shine from their eyes and their smiles.
I bet they keep the two of you on your toes! 😉
Happy birthday, Chitter & Chatter!
Oh happy birthday to Chitter and Chatter. What beautiful girls you have. Blessings.
Doesn’t your heart just turn over every time you look at them! That never stops…12 or 42, whatever age they are. 🙂 blessings, marlene
Aw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEAUTIFUL CLOGGING PRINCESSES! May the next 12 years be even better than the first! What time shall I be there for cake? 🙂
Oh my goodness! Somehow I missed the fact that the girls were twins!!
They are beautiful girls!
Blessings!
Lacy
My Goodness!! They grow up so fast and in the case of Chitter and Chatter sooo beautiful. And what precious, precious pictures makes me cry.
I remember that second picture twelve years ago—it was a long hard day but all the remaining pictures prove it was worth it!
Love Ya!
Wow! Happy birthday, girls! What beauties they are. I have enjoyed getting to know them through your posts, Tipper. I wish all girls could grow up like yours, with freedom, imagination and grit.
Happy 12th Birthday! Thanks for letting us share in your adventures. Pappy
OMG that picture of them in the incubator is so precious. Don’t you wish you could go back there for one moment? Happy Birthday girls!
Oh my goodness they are the cutest little babies! Now the are some very beautiful young ladies!
Happy Birthday!!
I know you have had a wonderful ride with these two. They were beautiful babies, and now beautiful young ladies.
Happy birthday to both.
Such a sweet post! Happy Birthday to your girls! Your pictures of the two of them are adorable 🙂
Happy Birthday Girls!!!! I can’t believe how much like you they look like. That first picture of you IS those girls!!
Happy Birthday and Congratulations on your gorgeous daughters!

Tipper: A happy 12Th birthday to Chitter and Chatter, I never realized they were twins. They are really getting close to the teenage years. Are you ready mom?
I love the photo of you two on the couch, you did know it all. It just didn’t last.
What a sweet birthday tribute! Happy birthday to your young ladies… they are sure lucky to have a mom like you!
Awww so sweet! Happy Birthday to Chatter and Chitter! They are so gorgeous!
That’s two beautiful little girls!
Happy Birthday from SC, Chitter and Chatter!!!
How sweet! I didn’t know you had twins. Happy Birthday to them.
Twins kinda run in my family. My grandmother and my aunt had twins and so did one of my cousins. I always kinda wished for twins, but I’m very happy with my 3 boys. Don’t know if I could have handled 2 at once or not. (I’m sure I could have, but one at a time is just fine)
