Sneaking in the backdoor
« on: July 21, 2010, 12:27:51 AM »
Hi guys... so sorry for the disappearing act. Life with twins and working has got me wandering in circles for the most part. I started working 3 days a week for a 2 doctor family practice with the twins in kindergarten. What a year! And wowsers it is already over! Remember my little micro premie boys? They are now 6 years old, love swimming, skating, camping, gymnastics, school, family and friends. They are little social butterflies just like their dad and busy busy little boys. We just got back from a week on the Oregon Coast where we stopped for a couple days to see LeeAnne and of course Hughes Watergarden. Great visit... remembered some awesome West Coast Partays and bloody knees. And we loved the ocean and the parts of the Coast that we did get to see. A week was just not long enough. Will definitely have to go back next summer. In the meantime I have installed a couple little preform liners in the corner of the backyard. Nice to have them off the patio and have a sweet little sitting area set up. A couple fishie, a taro, lettuce, hyacinth and of course my favorite fairy moss. Seems to be coming along nicely  and I'm glad to be back into having a water garden. I had missed it.

So that's the last year or so in a nutshell.. rest of the summer is pretty quiet with working, bit of teaching paper crafting and digital scrapping and then this fall I'm supposed to go to Vegas but we'll see. With all my choral groups down for the summer hopefully I'll make it here more frequently.

Mom of twins, knitting nut, and want to get back into water gardening.

You were missed.  Oregon sounds like a good visit. Kudus to Hughes Water gardens too.
LeeAnn is always fun.

Wow.  It doesn't feel like 6 years since the little guys were born.  Glad you had a nice vacation and enjoy your ponds.

I too can hardly believe the boys are six already!  Nice to read your up-date and glad that you've been able to get your little ponds situated where you want them.
