McLinky Photo Blog Hop - Favorite Photo and Caption

I've never done a blog hop. Looks like fun and I think I'll join in!

Today we are sharing one of our favorite pictures. I can think of thousands, as I take LOTS of pictures. But one come to mind and that is my husband holding our precious twins in the NICU hours after the were born. (He was the first to hold them as I was back in the room recovering)

Our twins were born healthy thank God. They were born 6 weeks premature on April 15th, 2006 and stayed in the NICU for about a month. Porter came home on Cinco De Mayo (Friday, May 5) and Abigail came home that Sunday.

Here's the picture of Carey holding the twins.

I didn't even have to go to Goodwill

I'm joining http://southernhospitality-rhoda.blogspot.com/ in showing off my treasures.

On my weekly trip to the library to return books, I saw these by the curb. The cradle needs some work as well as the highchair. Not alot. Just some glue, sand paper and some love.

The highchair: It was MADE IN THE SOUTH. (Upper left corner of sticker) That's exactly what is says. It's by Cass Toy Co. I might have a treasure on my hands.

Who would throw this out? I think it might have been a landlord as the house looked creepy and there was a for sale sign. It could have been a foreclosure. Sad.

Abigail and Porter will treasure these.

Did I mention we were part of a supper club?

Well we are. And it's F.U.N. Most are AMOM'ers, but not all.

Most people might think of a supper club as elderly folks sitting around talking about Geritol and Depends. Not ours.

My good friend Jennifer created our supper club a few months ago. The first one was at her house, the second at this pool and our friends Chrystel and Jamie, along with us, are hosting the third one.



Miss America, I mean Miss Universe, in the pool



Making friends



This is either Mallory or Kelby. (Forgive me Jennifer!)



Jeremy in the beans



Why is it that we get really hungry when located near a body of water?



Water gun fun

Are you in a supper club? Were your parents? Would you like to start a supper club?

At the cousin's house to play

A few weeks ago we headed up to the cousin's house to play. They have the giant water slide. They also have a pet turtle that the kids loved. Boy was it hot outside.


Abbey making the big climb



All by myself



Porter in charge of the squirting gun



Getting cousin Kyler



The turtle. I forgot his name. He's actually from OKLAHOMA! Okie turtle.



The boys taking a break. Look at the tans.



mmmmmm snacks. Porter, later on, got out every toy in Kyler's room. But he cleaned it up too.

Spray n Wash to the rescue

Ok I found a new food for the kids. I had forgotten how much the kids liked spaghetti. They loved playing around with it of course. They scarfed it up in a second. It's always fun for the kids to like the same things we do.

Free produce

These tomatoes were on our doorstep last week. I've been eating them all day everyday. They are so good and alot better than store bought. One of these years I want a garden. It'd be fun for the kids.

Happy Fourth of July

You're a grand old flag,
You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave.
You're the emblem of
The land I love.
The home of the free and the brave.
Ev'ry heart beats true
'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

A little bit of Abigail in my life

Abigail at the splash park



Abigail with her hair "yike mommy's"





You gotta love the creativity




Playing in the garage with my "cammy"



Raspberries on the fingers

Porter and the vintage apron

I picked this apron up at Bethesda resale. The kids like to wear aprons around the house. I'll miss this stage.

Horsin' around and lunchcakes

Porter usually joins Abigail in her bed. Sometimes she likes it, other times she doesn't. Looks like they were having fun here.



Womb-mates







The kids love playing with jewelry



Must have on all 4 rings to eat lunch



And Porter gets his bear and heart ring



Time for "lunchcakes". Porter calls pancakes lunch cakes. He'll say "Eat lunchcakes"



A good hearty breakfast. Bananas and lunchcakes
