Great to hear it all went smoothly ... I can only echo what job shared and we are entering into the time of year the MLCrs do tend to all act up at once... in my house I simply say in my head GOT style "Winter is comin" .... mine too is pokin a pinkie toe out and feeling the waters lucky for me I have the hideous Holiday sweater out that says 'Been there Done that'.
Congrats Irish, Must be something else seeing your 2 Ds bond and experience such life events together and know they have each others back. Hopefully one day their mother will emerge and be there in the later years .... for now they have each other and a very strong father figure to lean on ... kudos man.
