People have been telling me happy birthday all week. They’re so sweet to remember my birthday and maybe it’s totally rude of me, but I correct them every time…it’s not MY birthday, it’s OUR birthday! I am a TWIN and people here just don’t know me as a twin. I love. love. love sharing a birthday with another person. And she’s not just any other person, she is the perfect compliment to me, my opposite in less and less things as we get older, and we’re countries apart, and 26 today.

Happy birthday. Nessers! I love you!

I wanted a family photo today. Not just our little family (although we did get one of those, too) I wanted a picture of all of my Guy family together, and they made it happen! Thank you so much, family!

How incredibly blessed we are to have such amazing friends living near us who are willing to hang out with us and let me photograph their families! I LOVE photographing people…especially people that I love. 🙂

First I’ll show you some of my favorites of Aaron and Nicole’s family shoot…

Now my favorites of Daniel and Laura’s family photos! Love you guys!

A few things I’ve heard Seth say this week:

“Mommy, I just heard my hand buzzing!”  (Seth has a little cold and was leaning his ear on his hand.)

I walked into the kitchen and heard Seth say this while leaning out the screen door…”God, why did you say no?” I asked him what he had asked God and he said “I asked Him if I could have some of His food and He said no.”

He had just watched me swallow some vitamins and said he could hear me swallow them and then exclaimed “If your heart sinks into the water, you would get a new heart!” 🙂

Right down the road from our house is a “Pumpkin Patch” that has mostly rides and activities with pumpkins lying around for purchase. We had told the boys that we were taking them to the Underwood Farm to get pumpkins instead of going to Stu Miller’s, but Aunt Abby took us for a fun morning after we had gotten our pumpkins at the farm. Thank you for the fun times, Abby!
