Four Decades, People!

That's forty years to you and me, Russ.


My wonderful parents have been married for FORTY YEARS today! FORTY! How great is that? They are the best parents a girl could ask for and their marriage is still going strong. I wanted to post their wedding picture, but came across this picture while scanning some old family photos. Are we rockin' the gold chair, or what? Do take note of the orange curains and the shag rug. And my mom...quite the hottie with the Farrah hair! Good times.


Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! We love you!

Something you wouldn't change...

That was the dare this week at The Digi Dares . So I chose Adrian's hair. The photo is a bit of an exaggeration. It was a day on the lake with the waverunner, so it was wild and free! We call it his Fabio picture. But it's so very true. His hair makes him HIM. He just had a birthday recently (he's a New Year's baby), but I was out of it, blogging-wise. So--Happy Birthday, my love!

And this is just cute...

...Rachel bundled up in her eskimo coat.

I call it "Charlottude"

Back when I was pregnant, we always teased that Rachel would be the trouble-maker. She was Twin B, and was always the difficult one during sonograms, and was always lying transverse or breech (we both ended up breech). When the girls were born, Rachel was beet red, while Charlotte was a serene pink. Rachel was the more vocal of the two, and is fond of shouting at people on her phone. Char is always smiling at newcomers, while Rachel sizes them up with quite the serious face. All who meet Charlotte have dubbed her "the smiley one" or "the friendly one." Well...the worm has turned, my friends! Charlotte is turning into one fiesty little gal. She's still very friendly and sweet as pie--until her sister gets near her favorite toys. We're working on it, and she's getting better. But, who knew???

Very bad blogger...

I've been on vacation, but I've been a very bad blogger. I'd been holding off on posting Christmas pictures in hopes of dazzling you all with some Christmas scrapbook pages, but I seem to be in a big ol' creative rut! Sooooo...here are a few pictures from Christmas. The girls got a TON of goodies, including a new slide from PaPa and Grammy. The first two pictures basically sum it up--it's either the subject of intense love or heated conflict! We're learning. We also had our first cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. Yummy!
