Graduation time

Well, we weren't sure it was ever going to happen but Tyler did indeed graduate from High School.


(Tyler grabs the diploma before they change their mind)

The day of the ceremony was hot, but not as hot as previous years. We avoided the sun bake of the stadium and opted instead to watch from a pavilion near the snack bar. We couldn't see as well and could barely hear, but it was much better for the babies and I still got some pics of Tyler and his girlfriend on their special day.


(Amanda and Saxon have it made in the shade.)

Two of a kind

SaxonandElla, EllaandSaxon. The Babies. The Twinfants.

It seems that my youngest children are almost two halves of one entity. In truth, they are quite different. Ella is big and bossy. Saxon is skinny and feisty. Ella sucks her thumb. Saxon likes his binky.


(We still get asked "Are they twins)

But there is no denying the "twin effect." They already chatter to each other. And Ella laughs and applauds as Saxon goes off doing some silly thing or another.


(I guess with matching high chairs and walkers, it doesn't help people tell them apart.)

I can foresee them as best friends in the year's to come. Seeing the bond forming between them is really something that I think most singleton parents don't even realize they've missed out on.
