The Twenty Seventh!

Two days before the twins' birthday,

my guy and I celebrated 27 years of marriage.

It didn't take us long to get the hang of this marriage thing back then.

And. . . we are still getting the hang of it!

Twenty-Five years with twins!

My computer was broken.

Then I was in an area without internet for two weeks.

Then I got a staph infection.

Then I got a bad cold.

Then I fell down some steps.  (I wasn't pushed!)

BUT

Before all of those things,

Ashley and Kacey bravely turned 25!

They did it without much fanfare.

They did it with a lovely lunch at a local tea house.

And when the day was almost done

 they did it with some coffee.

Together.

Their favorite way.

You two.

A dream come true.

Beautiful girls.

My precious pearls.

Your mamma I shall always be.

Heart full of love.

That is me.

Siblings

I just recently returned from a trip to Ohio.

A trip to the state where I began.

Thankfully, I was able to spend time with both of my brothers.

It is always good to catch up and see each other.

There are a lot of miles that separate us.

But siblings we will always be.

Lately

These fine people are now back home in Montana.

But first,

we celebrated a birthday.

Happy 2nd birthday to you, Hudson!

We were found guilty of clowning around.

House rule:

Don't play on the upstairs railing.

There was much snuggling.

Theo really fell asleep this way.

Awwwww!

There was none of this...

But we did have our own Southern California storm.

There was a lot of looking in from the back yard.

In fact,

it was quite the fascination with little Miss Ellie!

A tad bit of almost posing.

And some awesome dimple displaying!

And that about sums up the last three weeks!
