These are a few of my favorite things...

Okay, I would go to bat with the fact that I'm THE MOST PROUD auntie this side of the Mississippi. On September 25, my family became the proud recipients of one of the greatest gifts that God can give (besides salvation of course...). They came early - actually, very early. My brother and sister-in-law were life-flighted to Spokane, WA for the births of Madison Grace and Josie Ann. They were just so tiny when born and were hooked up to more bells and whistles that I'd ever seen with wonderful care provided by Sacred Heart's NICU staff.

4 very short months later, they cannot be considered preemies anymore! In fact, I have a sneaking suspicion they (like ALL Blaskos before them) will be put on a diet very soon.

They are laughing and smiling and are truly so full of joy. They bring more happiness to all of us than I even imagined possible.

As you'll see, they are truly beautiful and I continue to remind them that brilliance is much more important and lasting. I'm not sure if they get that reality quite yet though...
