Lightning.. Does it really strike the same place more than once? Well in this case it's both cute and incredible to hear a story of a couple with twin daughters with different skin color getting another twin daughters also with the same skin variance.
BLACK and white twins Hayleigh and Lauren Durrant proudly hold their new sisters Leah and Miya — who incredibly are ALSO twins with different coloured skin.
Their mixed-race parents Dean Durrant and Alison Spooner repeated the two-tone miracle after a seven-year gap.
When the first set of twins arrived in 2001, the couple were astonished to see that Lauren took after her white mum, with blue eyes and red hair, while Hayleigh had black skin and hair like dad Dean.
Then this year Alison, 27, found she was expecting again — and lightning struck twice.
She had twin girls again. And little Miya was born with dark skin like her dad and Leah is white like former recruitment consultant Alison.
Dean, 33, of Fleet, Hants, said: “The girls just love Miya and Leah to bits.

I'm not sure who took the original picture for this, but I'm pretty sure it's a copyrighted/wire image. Could you please remove it and add one of your own, or one in the public domain?
Thanks.
