26 + 26 = Freaked Out!

How is it possible that my sons have turned 26 . . . the age I was when they were born!! They celebrated together by going camping, then driving back to have dinner with us. The funnest part was making their birthday cake with Rainor! I could never have imagined all that would transpire over the years . . . or where each would be in their own life journey. For identical twins with the same genes, chromosomes and environment, they are truly unique human beings! I think the most wondrous thing I heard that day was, "Thanks for having me, Mom, so we could have Rainor." Another thing I couldn't have imagined when two little preemies were struggling for life for fifteen days. May God answer all the prayers we've prayed since the time we asked Him to bring children into our lives, and may our heritage of faith be unbroken for all the generations to come. . . .

Rainy Days with Rainor

Rainor has been spending time with Lainee and Pops the last two weekends, while Blake has been promoting a show that's scheduled for tonight . . . several bands, two sound stages, one inside, one OUTSIDE . . . after a full week of rain, we need a break!! Not ME--I'm having a ball INSIDE with the sweet music of our little "Rain man"! Rain still loves his "pa pa", but now only for night night time . . .
A blankie is also a nice touch . . .
Rainor's natural born scientist, like his mom, and loves to look at every little detail with a magnifying glass (especially my button bowl)

Lainee's "weeding glasses" really freaked him out . . . oops, it just really thunderered, but did he cry? No way. . . just put his hand to his ear as if it was just another discovery and whispered, "Hihen" (translation: Listen). Time to play!
