Crib Note – William David Collins and Wesley Porter Collins

Double the pleasure, double the fun! Darling twin boys, William David Collins and Wesley Porter Collins, arrived on January 27th. Their proud parents are Monica and David Collins of Vero Beach, Florida. The active duo joins older brother, Rivers Collins, age eight, and older sister, Cameron Collins, age six. The boys are fraternal twins. Will weighed five pounds, 14 ounces; and Wes weighed five pounds, five ounces. Both have blue eyes and a dusting of brown hair. Their proud grandparents are Drs. Susan and Charles Porter and Debbie and Tom Collins. Wes and Will’s middle names are from both sides of the family. Rivers and Cameron delight in playing with the twins – and they’re looking forward to when the boys are old enough to go lobster diving with them!
