Twins!


Amazing! Incredible! Miracles!

Two baby boys, born Friday, 2-24-2012.

Baby A--no name yet. 7" 0' 20" long 1:02am lots of dark hair
Baby B--Logan Jeffrey 6" 9' 20" long 1:33am not as much RED hair :)

Born at home. Caught by midwife Dixie. No complications, no drama.

What a wonderful, beautiful, miraculous blessing! I love them already. Can't stay away...

Cinderella, Cinderella

One of my favorite plays on TV when I was young was the Lesley Ann Warren version of Rogers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella." I still remember and sing several of the songs from that production. So you can imagine my delight when BCHS chose it for their spring musical! Maddie had decided she was going to try out for her first play this year and this was the perfect one!
Maddie's ballroom scene partner was the foreign exchange student from China. They became good friends.

Maddie and Xin Yao. He was so much fun to listen to. His very good English sounded a bit Chinese.
 

Maddie's in the orange dress on the end and Julie is in the other orange dress.


Ruth, Maddie, and Julie all looked gorgeous in their ball gowns.
The set was amazing. I wish I had a photo of the coach they borrowed from another school.

It was a very entertaining and well done performance!

TWO for the Price of One

(My main computer has crashed, I dropped my camera and broke it, and I keep forgetting to borrow a camera to take a new picture. Maybe today...)

BUT! I still must announce that I am going to be the grandmother of twins! Brian and Susan are due March 2 and they found out last week that they are having TWO babies! We are all so excited we can hardly stand it. Both are over seven pounds, heads are down, mom and babies are healthy, and they can be here any time! We are all hoping for a boy and girl, but we'll be happy with any combination!

I'll keep you posted!

A Good Time Was Had by All...

Last Saturday was the "Sadie's Dance" at Maddie's school. She had asked her friend Colton weeks ago and was SO excited to go. Don't they make a cute "couple?" (Really just friends--the best kind of "date.")
Their group included Colton and Maddie and left, "Tonka" and Colton's cousin, Mikelle and right, Abbi and Colton's brother, Jordan along with 12 others!
These are some good-looking AND really nice boys!
The girls aren't half-bad either! Nice girls, every one!
What a cute group! They went to dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ, drove go-karts at Fast Lap, played mini-golf at King Putt's, and then had dessert and played Just Dance at Abbi's house. Lots of fun!
We had the privilege of participating in the date by driving half the group in the motorhome. We switched groups every time we started driving again, so we got to be with all the kids. What a fun evening!

Photos by our good friend LEISEL--she took 136 pictures!! She's amazing!
