Babies........and moon........

I know, I know..... it's been awhile since I posted! Life just keeps rolling along, and I just can't seem to keep up. Intentions are good, but when not carried out, not so great (like meaning to do a blog post 3 weeks ago)!!!!

FIRST AND FOREMOST - more babies born into my family - twin boys! my great nephews from my sister's son.  Although twins, they were born on different days so they each get their own birthday now!

Precious angels.............

Their 1st July 4th!!!  at one month old. Cute T-shirts.

Here they are one week old... do mom and dad look sleep deprived???

Well.. this is what you get when you BOGO!!!!

 Here's great auntie Marilyn with Andrew, the first born.

And my sweet little step granddaughter, Izzy, is doing well, but we haven't seen her since the day she was born! She is now 7 months old and going to be walking soon. Due to the Covid.. we haven't taken the 3-1/2 hour drive to see her. Makes me very sad....

Izzy doesn't look too happy here, but she really DOES like this walker! I think this was her first time in it!

On July 4th, we came home from a BBQ with my sister and her husband, my nephew, his wife and the twins (yes.. we did travel the 75 miles to see them - HAD to see those twins).... and were surprised to see (and hear) that our town was continuing on with their fireworks tradition. We stood in awe on our front stoop, as the huge orange moon arose from behind the trees! Wow what a sight. 

I took several "blurry" pictures and all I got was a distant shot. 

My hubby then grabbed/took the camera and said "here, let me see what I can do"........ and somehow he got this shot! I couldn't believe it. My little camera only zooms to 20X.... he did "something" to get it to zoom at 80X and got this perfect view. He doesn't even know what he did!

I managed to get a picture of the fireworks exploding right in front of the moon.

An ongoing project we have, as you know from my May 22nd post, is our yard redo and gravel moving and spreading. I'm happy to say that it's mostly done, except for one spot where we ran out of gravel, and one area at the back of our house that hasn't been leveled out yet. but... we're getting there and the yard is looking pretty darned good.  Lots of work!

In my next post, I'll have some pictures to show you.

Until then, hope everyone is well and safe, and moving along with the flow of summer as best as they can.

Faith and Doubt both are needed.....

Not as antagonists,

But working side by side -

to take us around

the unknown curve.
