I join Karen and dance with her for you. rock oak Deer you just stay off your foot! Now see the surprises and rewards you get when you are a good girl? :-))) DON"T touch lol. Now you just make sure you take another photo when the bud actually opens and becomes a bloom rofl. I tell you, it is the cooler nights! I am sure that we are all ready to get blooms. We who have not had the pleasure of enjoying them due to the heat. So happy for you Lucy

jvanderh, the trick to pink macaroni and cheese is to put food coloring in the water when you bake the pasta, and more food color into the cheese sauce. Oh, and it helps to use white cheddar, gruyere and asiago, they're strong enough to taste like cheese, they melt well and they're white, LOL. Madi (Ashley tells me it's NOT Maddie, LOL) started walking at about 10 months old. She's in a hurry and runs everywhere. Her mother was a "climber", I remember her pulling out drawers and climbing up like a ladder so she could sit on the counter and eat the butter. Ahem. The first thing Madi did with one of the presents was drag it over to a chair and use it as a step to get onto the chair and then onto the table where the cake pops were. Good luck with your new little one, Tricia. They're just so much fun. What am I going to do next year? Ashley is pregnant again, due in August. Since Bud is the only boy on both sides of the family, we're hoping for a boy cousin for him. The girls are "too bossy", he says. (grin) Sharon, they are growing too fast. (sigh) Both Bud and Makayla will still sit on my lap, but they're getting too darned big to fit. Makayla is now 4'5". My Mother is 4'9". The Monkey Princess is working hard to outgrow the "Little Grandma". She's going to outgrow ME pretty soon. I'm sad... Annie

What CUTE babies! And isn't it interesting how they look so different? My twin GKs don't look like they're even related, but at 6 yrs. old, they've still got that "twin thing" going on, being soooo closely bonded to each other. And mucho CONGRATS to the parents for making it through this 1st year! When my GKs were born, their sis was almost 2 & brother was 4 & 1/2 -- kind like your triplets older sibs. It was CHAOS until the twins were 3, going on 4. Now, with them 11, 8, 6 AND 6, it is SOOOO much fun with them. I had them for 4 days recently and it was great! Tell the parents to hang in there doing multiples through the toddler stuff, potty training, teaching them to feed themselves, etc. --- it DOES get way easier in a few years!

Oh Indy Anna you been holding out on us KT Aunties!!!! He is ADORABLE! He looks like he would keep you on your toes too! LOL Happy Birthday Tyler, you sweet thang!
