 "All I ever wanted as a kid were twins-a boy and a girl," said Amber Yourczek of Little Falls. The young mother's wish was granted in 2004, when she found out she and her husband were expecting their first set of fraternal twins Mya Louise and Drew Raymond.
Not realizing that wish may be more than a one-time deal, Amber and Andy, were blessed with twins again, Oct. 19, 2007. That was just a little over a week before their first set of twins turned 3, Oct. 28. See more in Terry Lehrke's special Mother's Day feature story in the Morrison County Record.
Amber’s idea of a perfect Mother’s Day is to spend the time with her children and husband—and that’s just what they’ll do. Pictured are front row, (from left): Libby and Kirk, born Oct. 19, 2007. Back row: Mya, Amber and Drew, who were born Oct. 28, 2004.
