After the party.......

Well, the girls birthday weekend has finally come to an end.  Days and weeks of preparation came together almost flawlessly.  It's hard to believe that they are actually 8 years old.  I used to think that we wouldn't make it past 2 or 3........  We have had so many good times, and so many tough times.   It's seems like we've had them forever on one hand, and on the other it was like yesterday that they came into our lives. 

The one thing I know for certain is that our girls have a very special mission here on earth.  I'm not sure why we were so honored to become their parents.  They have talents beyond my wildest dreams, and the ability to accomplish things one child alone could never do.  So far, they have used their unique abilities to bless the lives of nearly everyone around them, but most of all, ME!  

On monday evening, Dave said, "you've got to come and see this!"  I was so tired and didn't want to get up, but I did.  From our front porch, he took these pictures.  It was a blessing to end the weekend with such a beautiful gift from our Father in Heaven.
