Big Love
Last night Season 4 of Big Love premiered on HBO, and we got to see Ailish and Julia debut as Nell Hendrickson. The girls were only on for one scene and the screencaps are now up in the gallery. We cannot wait to see what is in store for baby Nell and the Henrickson's this season!

A Year in Review: Happy Holidays 2009!
A message from the O'Connor Family:
A Year in Review: Happy Holidays 2009!
An amazing year has flown by. A&J are 17 months old now: little walking beings – full of curiosity, wonder and ever so expressive. If I pause to reflect the past year, I might miss a precious moment happening right before my eyes.
Yesterday Julia started walking around, her hands clasped behind her back just as her father does. And Ailish walked over to a small trashcan and deposited a piece of paper. This may not sound amazing. But after months of climbing into drawers and pulling out everything within their reach - this caught me off guard in a good way.
As I write, I remind myself that tomorrow we will be on the set of BIG LOVE, the last day
before the holiday hiatus. The last episode to film will resume on January 4th.
In a series of work that started with an Infantino photo shoot at 6 months of age, and resulted in string of continuous work – from season regulars on “In the Motherhood” (baby Sophie) to 17 episodes of “Days of our Lives” (baby Grace), a gig on “Modern Family” and then a full-season of “BIG LOVE” (baby Nell), A&J have pretty much been in the industry for more than half their lives.
A “stage mom”, I am not. But we have been fortunate to have had the many opportunities of work and have the wonderful friends we’ve met on set. Please visit their official website: www.oconnortwins.net for screen caps from the shows they’ve worked on, pictures on & off set, and behind the scenes.
Aside from work, A&J enjoy the Y’s daycare while mommy gets a chance to workout. The gym’s staff has been so accommodating and A&J seem to have quite a few fans of youngsters. It is not surprising to come to pick up my daughters and have a little girl or boy holding one of them or reading a book to them. I’ve even been asked if they could give my baby a bottle or help put them into their stroller. I am so grateful to have access to the YMCA and all of our friends there.
We are also blessed to have my caring tenants, one of whom has been watching my babies for quite some time. She is the most loving individual and brings out such joy in my little girls.
As this letter is starting to become “what I am thankful for”…I think I will continue to express my thanks and appreciation to all the wonderful opportunities we’ve had this year, the new friends we’ve met, the old friends who’ve supported us and our family who has been extremely supportive since the birth of our daughters.
Though we still are in hopes of finding a new house to better accommodate our needs, we are blessed to have our current residence in which we can enjoy our pleasant evening walks in the Hollywood Hills, our local Beachwood Market just a block away and being central to all that is important to our livelihood as my husband works as a Location Manager in the industry.
I am also thankful that we are close to my fav new eatery: The Oaks Gourmet: A hip establishment of European charm with a coffee bar, beer and wine selection, gourmet eats and treats and a side restaurant with a different feature of the day – Grilled Cheese Wednesday being one of my hubby’s favorites.
I have often walked into the Oaks simply to buy some Kombucha and/or have a nice place to sit down, eat a snack and feed my babies – and end up staying a while to chat with new local friends. One of whom is also a member of my gym – he referred me to his daughter’s business to develop a website for my Nutritional Consulting biz. Tracy has not only answered all my emails, suggestions, changes, and revisions, but has been patient and kind, cordial and ever so efficient. My website: www.nutrifitandsavvy.com If you are on facebook, you probably have seen the many posts from my NutrifitandSavvy’s Blog (and I hope you’ve had a chance to read them). : )
JP has been working hard on the TV show Medium. He continues to exercise his resourcefulness, efficiency and people skills necessary in his field. He has had a lot to juggle, but manages to come home with a smile – ready and happy to play with the kids. The second he takes off his shoes, he welcomes A&J with open arms and they are his priority the rest of the night. And yes, I am truly thankful for such a wonderful husband who is such a sweet, caring dad.
And with that – I send my holiday wishes to all of you – my friends & family!
With love,
Lauren, JP, Ailish and Julia

Star-Kidz Christmas Q&A
Q&A is not to be duplicated elsewhere and claimed as their own.
STAR-KIDZ EXCLUSIVES
Ailish and Julia O'Connor took over the role of "Grace" on Days of our Lives on May 8, 2009. They portrayed the character until her death a month later but they also made a small dream appearance in July. Later on in the summer, the girls booked the role of "Nell" on Big Love. In addition to those two shows, the girls have also appeared on "In the Motherhood" and "Modern Family"
1. Is there any certain way to tell the girls apart and how?
Julia has a slightly bigger forehead, and thus more heart-shaped face- making her look a little more petite.
2. How are the girls enjoying working with the other children on Big Love?
They are still so small and really enjoy attention from anyone - adults and kids alike. The 4-year-old Kent twins (Ethan and Gavin) loved playing with them and after a few days on set together, one of them asked me if Ailish and Julia could come home with them to play. So cute. : )
3. How did the girls like being little “celebrities” at the Days of Days Event?
They were so tired that day. But I'm sure they enjoyed the attention. : )
4. How is the cast of Big Love with the girls?
They are just great. Everyone has been so nice and attentive to the babies. Even the director last Wednesday came up between sets to greet and make them smile. Ginnifer Goodwin often says "well hello Julia" (or Ailish) and tickles their toes or something - she is very sweet with them. And they do seem very content with her.
5. Did the girls have a favorite person to work with on Days?
I think they were very comfortable with Alison. She has kids and is very good with babies.
6. Do they have a favorite person to work with on Big Love?
They are always with Ginnifer since she plays their mom. But they also have a lot of fun with other members on set, including the stand-ins who have been so helpful and playful with the babies when we are waiting for our call to enter stage.
7. Which girl filmed the first scene for Days?
I believe it was Julia. She is my "go-girl" since she is generally the most calm and easy-going of the two. Even though they both are pretty mellow and people-friendly.
8. Do any of the girls' cast members ever try to tell them apart?
Yes. I think Ginnifer can tell since she's been around them most. She seems to pretty much get them right.
9. How did the girls get into the business?
We were in Target and met another mom with twin girls who suggested we contact their agent and get the girls into modeling / TV..."for a college fund". So we did.
10. How did the girls enjoy filming Modern Family?
I think they enjoyed playing in the dressing room between filming the most since their were a lot of other babies and toys. Funny, but the mommy-and-me scene didn't allow too much room for any of the babies to really "play"/explore too much since they had to stay in frame (my babies would crawl off and head toward the camera men if I didn't keep them in tow.) - Though there were a few short little scenes where they got to just "play".
We would like to thank the O'Connor family for participating in this year's Christmas Q&A Event!

Behind the Scenes of Big Love
We have added to the gallery, 17 awesome photos of Julia & Ailish behind the scenes of "Big Love." There are some great ones of Julia playing with Gavin Kent (Lester along with twin brother Ethan) and some pics of Julia with Ginnifer Goodwin (Margene). I know I can not wait for January so we can see the girls on Big Love!
