DOUBLE Happiness.

by Joe Doyle on December 30, 2006

Back in Y2K, Stacey and I had an idea:

Let’s use the Chinese symbol for Double Happiness on our wedding invites. It’ll be the coolest.

Hellllllls yeah!

Kismet you might say, but Lady Doyle is now full of twins and brimming with pregnant bliss. The little buggers are fattenin’ up, getting ready for a life of leisure at our expense.

We’re 18 weeks in. Mom is healthy. Babies, too. Soon we’ll find out the sex and you can as well (hint = check back here). But for now, watch the video below.

Future updates will include glamour profile shots of Stacey, those blurry B&W shots of pre-born kids, their future home, a possible name poll, cycling (natch) and our life in Austin.

Have a safe, fun and successful 2007, y’all.

Choosing double happiness for you wedding turned out to be a prophecy of biblical proportions. We will pray for health and happiness.

The site is great. Will be back regularly to check on the progress of the grandkids, and we agree with Grandma and Grandpa Ashley - would sure be good to know the sexes.

All our love to two of the most beautiful parents-to-be in the world.

Hey, thanks Paddy, Ma and Pa.

On her head… yeah right. It’s hard enough to get up some times for the lady.

6 nicole 01.02.07 at 7:32 pm

oh thats so awesome. finally a blog worth reading! as if having TWINS wasn’t good enough, you put the whole photo montage to ELVIS…

When will you know the sexes? Anyone up for a little friendly wager? I’ve got 5 bucks that says they’re both boys.

7 Anne Veit 01.02.07 at 7:32 pm

congratulations! i’m so excited for you! two little cyclists in the making…

8 joe 01.02.07 at 9:07 pm

Both boys… wow, Nicole. Can you imagine? This place would be chaos. Well, more chaos.

And Anne is right… little cyclists for sure. I’ve already been researching kid carriers.

Thanks friends. We find out the sex of the little ones in a coupla weeks.

I will put down $5 for one girl and one boy–(you need to have a girl because girls are special!!) I love how the grandparents are all comfortable with their name already so I decided to put down my new name! Yeah! Does Stacey look pregnant for real yet???
Happy New Year!!

14 Aunt Pam 01.03.07 at 1:40 pm

The new site is fun. It’s my first blog. Kinda like being on a party line.

You both know how excited I am about the twins. It’s great to have a place to check on how things are going and how Stacey is changing. I too am anxious to find out the sexes. Boys or girls though, they can’t help but be beautiful children. I’m praying that everyone is healthy and time goes by quickly so we can meet these wonderful new additions to our family.

Love to all of you.
Aunt Pam

Hi Joe & Stacey,
Every time I go on this web site, I am lucky enough
to see a different picture at the top. I was thrilled
to see Molly(the Dog) picture. I sure do love her.
Great comments and support from everyone. You do
will make the best parents and Aunt Pam said it best.
You two are just the perfect parent to handle twins.
Love,
Mom

Joe and Stacey:

THIS IS OUTSTANDING NEWS!!! It is kismet…

Congratulations to you both. You will be excellent parents! And if two people can handle twins, it’s you!

Just remember, it’s only poop…

Your friend,
Jill

17 Joe Doyle 01.03.07 at 4:14 pm

Hey, thanks everyone. You’re early-parenting kudos are much appreciated. Tho I don’t have parental knowledge, apparently it’s all about the poop (nice one, Jill).

18 Cousins Justin & Kara 01.03.07 at 7:52 pm

Our cat loves your audio comment feature, and sends her congratulations and best wishes!

19 Joe Doyle 01.03.07 at 8:17 pm

Did you pull that cat’s tail?

20 Cousins Justin & Kara 01.04.07 at 1:49 pm

No. But I’ll mark that down as a request for the next time she wants to comment!

21 Nancy Horstmann 01.15.07 at 6:57 pm

OK, where are the pregnant stacey pictures? The pix at the top of the page shows a ‘cooking’ stacey w/ big… um (is knockers a pc term?) but she’s always had those (sorry g-mas and g-pas). So show us the pictures!

Thinking of you guys.

Lots of Love,

Nancy
