What ANtics Have the Grays Been Up tp Now?

A heartfelt congratulations goes out to louismg, whose wife gave birth to twins this past Friday night to twins. You can read all the details over at Louis's blog, but I'm really, really happy for them. Louis and Billy Beane are going to have to get together to talk about the wonders if having twins...and a boy and a girl nonetheless.
The good news is that the babies and Mom are all healthy and doing great. It's tough to say right now, but make sure you savor every moment now, Louis. They grow up faster than any of us would like to think. I felt like just yesterday my newborn daughter was grabbing my finger for the first time and now she's not quite three and a half, going to preschool and riding Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland and excitedly demanding, "MAS!" every time it comes to an end.
I couldn't be more happy for you and Kristine, Louis. Congratulations from the Athletics Nation community. Maybe we can just populate the world with future A's fans?
It'll be interesting to see what kind of inspiration for future ANtics your new babies give you, Louis.

They've been busy blackmailing Billy Beane
to keep cousin Jeffrey on the 40-man roster.

Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.

Woohoo!
Congratulations, louismg. As a novice parent myself, I learned the “treasure every moment” lesson very quickly. Even at nine months, he changes (and amazes me) every day!

Congrats, louie
I would watch out though. Billy Beane might trade his established veteran babies for your two prospect babies.

Hmmm, I don't know...
6-month-olds might be sleeping mostly through the night…

eh, Beane's held on to 'em too long
Their value already peaked. Might as well let ‘em walk for the draft picks.

I love this comment.
The trade would have to be a mega-deal. These are some great prospects. But the truth is, I’m definitely not interested in any kind of six players for one. Not … one … bit.

Kudos to you for preferring to have homegrown players on your team.
I’m sure you’ll have two good farmhands that will hit homers in the majors in no time!

Yay, Les!!!!!
Hope you named the girl Cindi, ha ha!!!

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

But seriously, I can’t imagine what twins would be like (having only one)!

Thanks Blez and Everyone!
Now that we’re home (with one of our twins, so far), I can finally see this post and get on AN. Silly hospital had the thing filtered.
Here’s one picture (with A’s hat, of course):
