Three of a kind (not my boys this time)

I was recently able to see and spend time with some of the most important people to me (of which I don't get to see much of). And here's a little tribute to us...it means so much to me that we're still so close.

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born- Anais Nin

The most beautiful discovery that true friends can make is that they can grow separately without growing apart -Elizabeth Foley

I don't remember how we happened to meet each other. I don't remember who got along with whom first. All I can remember is all of us together...always- Anonymous

End of 2001

I married my Brian in 2003

I love these girls.

Hide and Seek

Lately, Hide-and-Seek has been the game of choice for my oldest two. And sometimes, it really does take me a while to find them. Last week I was playing with them and was very impressed with their choices to hide, Brady's in particular, so I took some pictures.

Could you have guessed Kalen was in there?

Here he is!!

And Brady picked this spot all by himself :-) Isn't he cute!
