Father's Day then and now!

Steve has been a daddy to:

LAUREN

ASHLEY & KACEY

He is chatting with Kacey here.

(I treasure this picture)

and RACHEL

They were all together yesterday.  

Something that has not happened in many years. 

It was a good Father's Day!

I found this picture of my dad and mom on this past trip to Ohio.

It is not the greatest quality but it spoke to me.

I loved my dad.

Grandchildren download!

It has been a while since I have posted pictures of the cutest things roaming the earth!

Here you go, friends.  Enjoy!

First up is Miss Ellie.

The glasses belong to this one!

Then comes the second born grandchild, Hudson!

And then there is Theodore -- SQUEEZE!

Then there are these three



Fun and beautiful all wrapped up in these ones.

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.
