 The New Year's baby in Crowing County is twice as special this year with twins being born for the first time at a essential health from 2018. Twin boys Rhys and Kai were born three minutes apart just after nine at night on New Year's Day. The boys were close in size and both weighing around six pounds and measuring 18 inches long. Parents Mark and Jessica Peterson of Baxter have one other son who is 21 months old. We're excited. We're excited to introduce them to our other son. We're excited to introduce them to our families and just kind of, you know, go through all those motions and see what kind of crazy ride it's going to be with twins. Both babies are in good health and we'll go home later this week. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.
