I finally got to meet the “T” twins, who were adorable and delightful. And ALMOST made it seem easy to have twins. Such sweet but unique personalities. I’m privileged to call their parents friends – though the Navy has a way of keeping us separated geographically – it’s always fun to meet...

Kate and Chris – though living out of state, chose to have a beautiful and intimate wedding at her parents home here in Virginia. The weather was gorgeous, as were the flowers but they couldn’t hold a candle to the bride!

I’m sure we’ll laugh when we think back to the most expensive concert we ever took our children too. Still stings just a bit at the moment. We originally bought 5 tickets to the U2/Muse show. Thinking that we could sell a couple and hopefully cover the cost of our tickets. ...
