happy birthday, my sweet

Today is DH’s birthday. I made his favorite…red cake. Used the leftover snowflakes from Monday night’s dessert to decorate the cake. DD put five candles on one side and four on the other to mark DH’s 54th birthday. “You HAVE to have candles!” Well, of coure you do! I used a butter cream frosting instead […]

the days following Christmas

Most of the days following Christmas are pretty quiet. Today was like that. TV, movies and a few games. DD received “Ticket to Ride” for Christmas and she played it with her sisters. Later in the day we all played. It was a lot of fun! While we played, Zak took a nearby nap. We […]

our babies are going home tomorrow

The twins have been angels this week. A dream to take care of. They’ll be heading home tomorrow, which is sad for us, but happy for them and their mommy and daddy. ~~Grandma

walking the yard with aunty

The twins took the wagon for a spin again this afternoon. It’s a beautiful afternoon. The asters are covered with butterflies, bees and beetles. The sugar maples are pretty this year. The twins love to be outside. And it was great to get out of the kitchen for a change! 🙂 ~~Rhonda

going to see great-grandma

DD took the girls for a ride in the wagon. They went to the nursing home to see Great-grandma. The twins *loved* riding in the wagon. We’ll have to go out again this afternoon. It’s a beautiful day and I’d like to get some fall pictures. I’ve spent the past four days in the kitchen. […]

turn your back for 30 seconds…

She’s a fast one! I did a few dishes, turned around to check on the girls, and there was Panda Bear, helping herself to a powdered formula snack. ~~Grandma :-}

Bath, bottle, bed…in that order. And aren’t they sweet? ~~Rhonda 🙂
