It’s a busy household with our exchange student and extra family members here. But we’re having a lot of fun! ~~Grandma 🙂
Twin One and Twin Two! A sweet duet. Playing with Zak. Smile for the camera! Enjoying Great-great-great-grandma Prest’s rocking chair. I’ll have more pictures of the rest of the family later. 🙂 ~~Grandma
We hope you had a great Independence Day! The girls had a great time this evening lighting fire crackers, smoke bombs, and sparklers. While we waited for dusk, we watched the fire flies come up from grass in the front yard. Happy Independence Day! ~~Rhonda 🙂
DH took the girls to the Fourth of July picnic this evening. They met one of DD’s friends there and had a wonderful time.
