"Stripes"

And Finally

The triplets are 3 months now, as of the 26th and growing so well and beautifully. The last time they were weighed they were well into 8 lbs. so I'm sure they are at least 9 lbs. or more.  My sister and I go over and help Ramie on Tuesdays and Thursdays and are on call as needed.  But she is such a natural with these babies, you would never know they were her first.   You can just see the love on her face as she looks at each one.  They are getting to the point where they are interacting with us and it is so fun.   These little ones have been lots of places already in their short life.  On a road trip, soccer games, out to dinner, up to the foothills of Mt. Rainier.

They just make my heart melt. 

So precious and we just can't believe how blessed we are.

Enjoy!!!

BTW, spent the day with the babies yesterday and found out they weigh 11 lbs.  My guess was a little off.

Had to post this.  Just came in:

Anna poses for mom as the boys sleep

Connor & Justin

Miss Anna is so photogenic

Identical twins even sleep alike,  Connor (l) Justin (r)

They even put their arms up at exactly the same time.  Lol

Connor & Justin in their summer wear.  Tank tops & shorts

Another beautiful shot of Anna.  Mom was playing dress up and taking pictures.

& for JUGS

Last Wednesday, I got to spend the day with Nancy Lepek  from Scapper@heart.
I took her to our favorite stamp store at Southcenter, Impress.  We spent a couple hours there and then came and played in my craft room for a bit and then went for lunch.
Her son lives up here so her husband and son went golfing while we visited.  The week before she spent some time in Oregon with Colleen and then went sight seeing with her son & DIL and husband.
We had such a wonderful time visiting and I will say it again.  Blogging friends are the best and we bond so easily....

I struggle with this a bit because my splatters often blend altogether.

The background is the splatter part and I watercolored the butterflies with my Zigs.

Used Pretty Pink Posh Butterfly Friends that I got from my Bff for my birthday.  Thanks Col....
