Twins!

Dear Conor,

You already know that there was one little boy in my life before you arrived (Hunter) but I bet you didn't know that long before either you or Hunter there was another - his name is Clinton.  I was given Clinton by my mommy and daddy at Christmas in 1982.  Clinton is a cabbage patch kid and I was very lucky to get him because that was the year that they were all the rage and people were standing in long long lines and still some people didn't get one to bring home to their little girl or boy.  My mommy stood in line for my Clinton and since finding him under the tree he has gone everywhere with me.

Clinton has been on more sleepovers that I can count, he has been camping, skiing, he's been to college and then lived in Boston apartments.  He traveled to Spain and to Canada.  He has been there for every big and little step I have ever taken in my life.  He has cried and laughed with me (well, mommy has cried on him and laughed while holding him).  And when your Daddy and I returned to our suite after getting married he was waiting for me in a tuxedo that your Daddy had bought him.  He is a very special little guy to me and since you are also very special to me I wanted to make sure I captured pictures of the two of you together. 

It was hard to figure out what type of pictures to take but eventually I decided that the two of you should wear the same outfit and since I loved the pajamas that you took your 4 month pictures in I found a premie pair for Clinton.  We took some pictures of you playing with him and sleeping with him.  Here are my favorites:

Getting an even closer taste :)

Just another taste

My two cabbage patches!

As of right now you do not have an identified favorite toy, blanket, or stuffed animal.  I often wonder if you will make that type of attachment and so we will just have to wait and see.
