The Irish Twins

Life is busy and I get behind posting pictures but wanted to share these.

I spent several days babysitting for these little monkeys...

Little "Lella" is nearly two.

 And "Lolo" is nearly 3

 They are "Irish Twins". Born 11 months apart.
Miss "Lella" was born very preterm and spent many weeks in the NICU, but she is doing so well.
It was discovered earlier this year that she has Cerebral Palsy. Of course we ache about that, but she is a sweet tender little love and I love snuggles from her.
It appears to have affected her legs, she has great movement on her hands and arms, but her legs have been affected.

But thankfully to modern miracles and medicine she should make great strides.  She does and amazing army crawl.
And just a week ago she had Botox injections in her legs. This is to keep her leg muscles from being so spastic and as time goes on the hope is that she will be able to walk.


I didn't get pictures of the two older boys. Krew nearly 10 and Kendrix nearly 8. Happy beautiful little guys that love their baby sisters.

This one is a clone of his dad.

Full of energy!

Krew is such a doting big brother. I love watching how tender he is with his sisters.

I love this family picture of them all.

I need to get the rest of my kids to get family photos done.

Maybe that will be my project when they are around for Thanksgiving.

IT'S TOO "NOISY" OUT THERE

Too much noise.

Internet, TV, News...

Too much.

Too much yelling.

People everywhere causing anxiety,

instilling anger and hatred.

And I am fatigued of it all.

And we don't even have TV.

We have an antennae on the house...

and we get one channel.

And we don't even watch that.

I don't miss it.

I spent the day canning.

I made Spaghetti Sauce and Applesauce. 

I haven't canned for 3 years!

So unlike me.

And for the first time in 34 years...

It was easy to can.

I didn't have to do it outside 

because I have this fabulous gas stove.

And I have this functional kitchen.

It was amazing.

The apples were free from a sweet cousin.

I was able to get 50 pints.

It was therapeutic.

It wasn't noisy.

YOU MIGHT LIVE IN IDAHO IF...

You wake up to this.....

And go to bed to this.....

I love Idaho!

FALL IS MY FAVORITE COLOR!

We took a drive about an hour away through some seriously beautiful country.

I love Fall colors.

I know that winter is just around the corner....

 But for now....

 I love Fall
