Here is our family. One of the twins pulled out her markers after school and this is what she created for me. In case you are not sure who is pictured here I will explain:
-
I am on the left side and look as if I have never seen a brush in my life. However, I do have a nice purple bow in my hair.
-
Evan is way on the right. He is very tall. And thin. He could also use a good hair brushing.
-
In the middle are the twins. She is in pink. He is in blue.
-
Also in the middle, and above the twins are our dogs, Buddy and Baby. They usually have their paws planted on the floor.
-
At the very bottom of the page are our fish, Fred and Rose. Fred was recently renamed Lightening Flash Fred.
-
Which brings us to the circles in the middle. . .The larger of the circles is Jake. The next largest circle is Sawyer. The smallest is for the baby . I did not realize they even knew that I was pregnant. I was wrong.

Thank you for all the well wishes. The cast has not slowed him down one bit.
Here he is with his toy green teeth chasing the girl with the butterfly tattoo around the house.
Ok, the cast did eventually tire him out. . .
Blue casts can really weigh a boy down
Now that he stopped chasing her she was free to accessorize a bit more.
Tattoo, a Crown & a Ring
What could be better?
They are making the most out of their last days as 4 year olds. She caught me off guard yesterday when she asked, “Will you take us to go see Sawyer and Jake for our birthday?”
“Yes, sure. Why?’ I responded while trying to figure out what happened that made a visit to the cemetery pop into her toddler brain.
“I love them. You don’t take us to see them often enough.”
She is right. I have not taken them to see Sawyer and Jake since the spring when she carefully arranged stones for her brothers. Over the past 5 years Evan and I have made the decisions about when and when not to bring the twins to the cemetery. Now that they have their own opinions I did not imagine we would be discussing trips to the cemetery.

Thank you!
