Since Adelynn and Sarah were born they've been easily mistaken for one another of course, to the point that for quite sometime it was hard to tell if they knew their name at all! They would answer to both names.(Our friends, the Joncas twins, told us that even at 18 years old they still answer to both their brothers name and their own!)
