Three years ago at Rose Festival...

Our small town celebration, the Rose Festival, always makes me emotional.  If you are new to our blog, here's why.  It was the day we got to bring Blake home from the hospital!!  Yep, after a 70 day stay at UIHC, the Friday of Rose Festival he got to come home.  We wasted no time showing him off to the public as we took him out and about with the rest of the family. 

It's amazing to see how much the twins have changed.  Here they are in 2011.  They really do like TWINS!!

And in 2013.  Look at that long hair on Mr. Blake.

 So, last weekend marked the fourth Rose Festival (3 year anniversary) of our family all being together under the same roof since the twins were born!  Happy, happy day. :)

My monkeys in 2014.  Uncooperative.  Not in the mood for pictures.  And don't mind the crazy sun. ;)
