Picture it:
August. 2007. Fishers Park. Four yr old kids learning tee-ball. A proud dad sits on the hill watching his son while another proud set of parents sit a few feet away watching their own son. Little did they know how their worlds would change and collide in a matter of mere moments.
A cute little blonde girl is getting bored watching her brother. A cute little blond(ish) boy is also getting bored watching his brother. She catches his eye . . . . . DOWN.SHE.GOES! The little boy laughes. So, of course, she does it again. He laughs harder. What is so funny? The fact that her chair is on a hill - and gravity took over. The poor dad just shakes his head and starts talking to the other parents (who were also shaking their heads).
After talking for only about three minutes, the poor and unsuspecting parents realized how alike these two adorable little angels (**cough** - sorry, had something stuck in my throat) are. In fact, they are seemingly identical - it's scary. This is a fact that still continues to scare people - even people that are around them all of the time. They have been mistaken for twins more times that we care to admit. When asked, we usually all tend to start twitching and shaking our heads no very vehemently.
That, my friends is the day that changed our lives.
What - you thought I was going to be all sentimental and talk about our wedding? Ha! The birth of my first child? Nah - that was yesterday and the moment is over. Nope, I am talking about the day we met the Colella family - or, more importantly, the day we met our future daughter-in-law. The day Frick met Frack. Tweedledee met Tweedledum. Sonny met Cher. Bonnie met Clyde (sadly, we are probably closest on that description). Meeting them also helped us to meet and become fast friends with Jill and Bob. Andrew gained two best friends . . . we gained four best friends . . . and Timmy gained - well, he got Sofia and Brooke. I will let you decide who made out the best in the whole deal.
Who knew that one little prat-fall would have such an impact? Three families now bound forever - all because two cute little two year old kids were bored out of their God-forsaken minds at a Victor Town Rec program.
Now that the story of Tim and Sofia has been set, I can now start to share other stories. Wait until you hear the underwear story. Sadly - there is more than one underwear story and they both happened before they turned five.
*sigh*
....and Nana just watches and smiles at how darn cute they all are, and laughs at the antics, and sometimes tears up at how precious they are.....and Nana and Papa both say..." Thank God for paybacks...."
