Week 13 - Sisterhood

These two spunky little girls just don't seem to get tired of one another!  They spent several days on a spring break adventure to Little Rock with their grandparents while me and my boys spent some time at home.  In my experience, when I share long car rides, meals, awake time, asleep time and every other time in between with someone, anyone, the one(s) I love, etc., I need some me alone time!  I am now 7 years into this twin thing...it was around the end of March in 2005 when I found out I was pregnant and by April we were adjusting to the news of two hearbeats!  Even after all that time, I still don't fully comprehend the connection our girls, as twins, have.  I'd say 99.9% of the time, they completely love being around one another.  It's heartwarming while confounding at the same time to me!  Even if I never "get it", they've got it and I pray they maintain it for their entire lives!

Catching Up! Week 10, 11, 12

Week 10:
On a beautiful Sunday morning in New Orleans, I ran in my 2nd 1/2 marathon with Candace, her sister, her brother, her sister and law and Korrie.  It was a great day and fun way to spend a weekend with a really great group of people.  Per CDC, Lisbon in 2013!

Week 11:
We had some really great Spring weather here in Shreveport prior to the first day of spring.  Trees have been budding and flowers have been blooming since early March.  I caught these beauties bursting forth outside of my office building.  I love the spring season...rebirth, renewal!

Week 12:
Sam celebrated St. Patrick's day as a pirate.  That's totally Irish right?!  Arrrr...

Week 9 - Five is fab

I somehow managed to take a bazillion pictures of Sam's 5th birthday extravaganza. We celebrated his actual birthday on Thursday with a pizza dinner at Johnny's, his request. On Saturday his nearest and dearest friends came over for a totally out of this world, Star Wars, party, complete with a bounce house. It was a perfectly beautiful Saturday, not too hot, not too cold...we could not have asked for a better day. After lots of sugar and lots of fun, we headed to my grandparents' house for a birthday lunch to celebrate the birthdays of my uncle, my dad, my son and my cousin who were all born the last week in February (years vary!). Sam soaked in every moment and really enjoyed himself so that made my heart glad which was also a little sad. My baby is growing up too fast, way too fast.
