times two

my dear friend had twins...

twins!

i'm sure it is as surreal for her as it is for me....

I am just not sure I can even imagine life with two newborns...

one is hard enough...

but, it is twice the love and twice the snuggles...

simply amazing if you ask me...

you are one amazing mama, my friend....

gone fishin'

our annual family camping trip was this past weekend...

considering I never even got pictures posted from our camping trip last year I thought I'd better keep up on all of the pics this year!

I have much more to share but I thought I'd start with the first thing Owen wanted to do when we arrived....

go fishing....

he is pretty serious about this fishing business....

unfortunately, no fish were caught...

I even tried a few times....

and got the only bite...ha!

maybe next year...

stay tuned for more snapshots of our annual family fun...
