They Have Each Other

Lately, these two have been clinging to each other.  I’m certainly not ready to say that they can go an entire day without fighting over something or another (oh, the drama!), BUT they have been developing a very sweet relationship that I adore.  I never had a sister growing up, & I can’t help but wonder how magnificent it must feel to have one – someone like yourself, yet different than yourself - a special kind of double really.  I’m pretty sure that the only thing better than having a sister is having a daughter.  Lucky for me, I have two.

JC Penny Portrait Studio just went up about 100 points on the richter scale in my book!  I thought they captured some beautiful moments in only 20 minutes.

Our Little Corner

Oh, I will miss our Kennewick home!  Moving is an emotional rollercoaster.  We haven’t been here nearly as long as I thought we would, and these sleepless nights of worrying & packing are causing me to wonder why in the world I am consenting to move across the world!  I love this house!  (Start the violins)…BUT all this change has caused me to once again ask the question, “What is home?  Is it a house?  Is it a specific location?”  From my experience, home is being with the people you love. 

So here’s to this house that we will always love & remember…

 

But cheers to a new adventure & the new memories to be made in our new little corner of the world.

Grandma & Grandpa Are Here!

We have company this week!  Better than company - it’s Grandma & Grandpa J!  We are within a few short weeks of moving to Argentina, so a lot of transition is going on these days, but the support & presence of loved ones is making this doable & exciting.

(Can I just say that my dear Mother looks AMAZING!?  She has lost over 50 lbs. in the past 6 months, & we are all so proud of her!  Way to go MOM!)

You know you’re a grandma when you think it’s completely normal to take your granddaughters to the mall for nothing other than strawberry smoothies, orange balloons, & the sheer joy of riding around in red converti-strollers.  Yep, only everyone was starring at us. 

   

The girls had their pictures taken this morning.  I can assure you that this is not normal attire for attending the mall…(although they did make quite the fashion statement).
