Pix update

Maiden Voyage!

Pangea and I took our 1st trail ride together May 14th, she'll be 2 on June 22nd and kids will be 2 on the 17th! Not sure of our plan for the next year but she was an angel, I felt like we had been together for YEARS ;p) such a good feeling!

CRUISING together ;p)

I thought this was a funny picture, they like riding together and Nia points to Sam to ride w/her when she is driving ;p)

Spring is Here!

Finally Spring is here, 50 and 60 degree days ;p) Kids are great, growing super fast and super sharp too! Nia loves crayons and Sam is almost running. Both have gotten minor colds & this week was their 1st cold w/a cough, strange hearing them cough, it's all new and I LOVE every second of it ;p)it's all good and of course there is no bad ha ha. Lighter note, yes it is light~ Nia just had her 1st tantrum, e/o has said it is a wonderful way of expression and individuality, they don't last long and Sam just looks at her and chills out, hope he skips this stage, I can't even see him getting mad, he is such a mellow dude ;p)

I had my 1st solo art show (pix above), it was a big success, we had a great time and the kids were angels. I just started riding again this week and it is so refreshing, I feel odd w/o the kids with me but then I think about them coming with me to the barn this summer,(lots of furry animals to play with). This winter was hard but hearing that Zanzibar lost power for 3m in 2008; how could I EVER complain again.

The Old Days

Yes, we used to have snow like this (12in)20y ago, a typical VA winter. No complaints except I wish I could ride a bit more. A drive by here w/pix. Sam is 100% walking and Nia is counting, spinning and drawing with crayons (I am THRILLED with the latter!). I am gearing up for my 1st solo art show in March and will post the details as soon as I can, it has been a challenge getting ready for it and I believe it's all a learning process, getting better each time I work at it. I hope to add pix from Sam and Nia in my next show ;p))

Organized Chaos

Just a quick post since we've had so much going on around here; Raising twins is soooooooo much fun and I have finally accepted our house will never be super clean again and I love love love the chaos, every day is something new and we are truly blessed that they have each other to play with, what else can I say!!

Now!!! we have had lots of snow, 24 inches and what a mess and more so ~ what fun it was ;p) so we had a white Xmas and got to spend more time at home b/c of the weather, a blessing for everyone to slow down and focus on our home life ;p) The kids are growing fast and are doing and saying things beyond my belief, ie; Diaper is Die-yee and we can sit at the kitchen island by ourselves, CRAZY!!ok, here's a few pix and I'll try to update more as my New Year resolution.
