Local twins born in different years

BOSTON -- A mom expecting twins has a double day delivery.
Her twins were actually born in two different years.
"They're about two minutes apart," Scott Hoenig, their father, said.
"The babies decided they wanted to be the '06 - '07 twins," Jennifer Hoenig, mother father, said.
Jennifer and Scott Hoenig planned a quiet New Year's Eve, complete with a bottle of apple cider -- non-alcoholic of course. Jennifer Hoenig has been living at Tufts New England Medical Center for the last three weeks when she went on hospital bed-rest. Doctors were working hard to keep her from having her babies too premature.
About 11 p.m., while crowds gathered to ring in 2007 at nearby Boston Common, Jennifer and Scott prepared to meet their new babies.
"There was some talk where we were like, 'Ha-ha, wouldn't it be funny if they were born in different years?'" Jennifer Hoenig said.
At 11:58 p.m., their baby girl arrived, weighing just 1 pound 15 ounces. She was the last baby of 2006.
Then, at the stroke of midnight...
"Midnight and about 10 or 15 seconds, I was watching the clock," Scott Hoenig said.
The Hoenigs met their baby boy at 2 pounds, 7 ounces. He's the city's first baby of 2007.
"Our resolution is to take care of these two," Jennifer Hoenig said.
A happy New Year to be sure, especially when the doctors told them their babies were doing great.
"Both babies came out and were crying, and I couldn't ask for much more than that," Jennifer Hoenig said.
