Summer Vacation

Every time I get a message from someone letting me know there are people out there still reading. I'm happy to post some more pictures and give some updates. The twins are doing very well and will be entering first grade this fall! We're sooo busy now and it will only get busier as we get closer to stating school again. But let's back up and I'll share some photos of our vacation to Longboat Key, Florida--with a short stay at Disney in the middle.

Both of them love to swim, and have taken lessons several times. Eleanor is really getting quite good recently!

Here are Jim and I with Adam and Eleanor. We stopped for a night in the Smoky Mountains and we all to a nature hike down to the bottom of a little valley. It was a mile walk there and back up and down a rocky trail--what little naturalists they've become.

I added this last one because you can really see her scar from her PDA ligation. She doesn't like to talk about the scar, but both the twins will tell you they spent 100 days in the NICU.
