He said he's happy to have his twin sons born on different days in different years."All I can say is they have their separate birthdays now, you know?" he said.Woods said she'll now have to say the date and time of birth to help explain how her twins were born in 2008 and 2009, but that's a small clarification she's happy to live with."I was just happy that they were here and were healthy," she said.Family and hospital staff said both boys were healthy, weighing in at 5 pounds 7 ounces and 5 pounds 15 ounces.The couple also has a 7-year-old daughter and an 11-month-old son.
