MoMo's Visit....

They arrived on our doorstep last Friday afternoon and ever since, King Tony and Queen Wendy have derived a new respect for parents of teenagers! They are independent, stubborn, self-motivated--all the things I'm sure we too were once, but somehow, we've forgotten all about it! Our lives are filled with significant responsibility--not carefree days and nights. We don't get much sleep--yet these gals sleep until someone rallies them awake with a blowhorn. It's such a wonderful time--"teenager-dom."



Princess Abigail and the twin princes have enjoyed time with their cousin Moorea and her best friend Sara. Both are energetic and sweet and have tried hard to figure out why the kingdom's munchkins are constantly whining, screaming or fighting. It's amusing to say the least.

The 4th of July is tomorrow, a time when we not only honor a major milestone in our nation's history, but a day when we are thoughtfully reminded of Princess Abigail's arrival at home after a two-week stint in the NICU. We were so joyous to have our first born home for the holiday that from 2005 on, we opted to celebrate Abby's life with fireworks too! Happy 4th of July to all! :)

Mo stands up to receive her "Player of the Week" award. So cool that she earned it. What a rock star!

The girls threw Princess Abigail a Princess Tutu party for her 4th birthday. Aren't they so cute?

Prince Aramis reminds us that he's going to be the football player of the family.
