Twins of the week

I was googling Juliet's and Jasmine's nicknames: JJ and Jezz, thinking that my blog would show up on the first page. To my surprise this came up:

JJ and Jezz, meet the multiples, Mother's Day photo gallery
and another one;
JJ and Jezz, twins of the week, with mom Mirielle (of course all the time my name is written wrong!) so I clicked on it and this picture came up.
Underneath it says that they had my permission....well, I don't know anything about that! I remember that I had sent some pictures years ago to a twin site, but I never sent any pictures to about.com

Weird to know that these articles were floating on the internet without me knowing. I just discovered that this week!

The girls are more 'famous' then they know. They already have been printed in an adoption magazine, a few times in the local Ridgefield Press and soon they will be featured into a Scholastic craft book that is coming out next month or so. The girls used to model in New York City before we moved to South Africa, and this was their last gig, fun to do and especially because they LOVED the Big Apple, so fascinating to see all these big buildings, lot's of people and millions of taxis zooming by. We always had a fun time going there. When the Scholastic book comes out I will let you know!

ps: everybody thought they were boys when they were little, this was in their first jeans, almost 10 months old ;-)

Have a wonderful day,
Mireille

Big kids in the City...

Jasmine & Juliet love to go to the Big Apple, so once in a while they have a modeling gig in the City and they get all excited! A lot of these photo shoots we have to cancel since I don't want the girls to skip school for it. But yesterday, it was georgous weather and they had a modeling appointment for H&M in the afternoon. So after school, we loaded up the car with coloring books, drinks and food and drove to NYC. We actually found a parking lot across the street from the CB studios on W.29th, between 7&8th Ave. They took quite some pictures from the girls, alone and together. So who knows you will soon see JJ and Jezz in a H&M catalog? I'll keep you posted if they use their pictures. Since they always use more children for 1 shoot and the best shots are used of course. It was fun, even if their pictures are not published ;-)
Afterwards we walked a bit through the streets, ate a yummy ice cream and went back home. Just another week day in the Dijkstra household.
