My friend Laura was over last night and said how she can’t see the kids photos at work anymore, for shame! And neither can other people too (Ginny:)) So I said I”d post a few for those such people.
Please do feel free to look at our flickr pages though, it saves me so much time and our kids are so cute! You don’t want to miss them growing up.
Let me know if you have problems view it, or anything. I’m happy to help.

As you see, Evelyn has been exploring her attitude much to her parents displeasure.

Two years ago yesterday we found out we were expecting. What a blessing. Just a few weeks later we found out we were going to be blessed times two!
Eleven years ago today we were married, wow. When I think about it now, our marriage and how it came about the thoughts surrounding it. We were young and we were quick. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not thankful to have James in my life, at the same time not a day goes by that I say I don’t deserve him in my life.
He is an amazing father, listener, and is constantly open-minded…. supportive and understanting. He’s constantly teaching the kids, and best of all I can see him learning and changing with the things they teach him. He protects us, James, Evelyn and myself at pretty much any cost. He is responsible and shows unconditional love towards them. He speaks from the heart, and cares about our well being.
