APOLOGIES to everyone who actually still checks this blog (those of you on a mailing list I don't feel so badly about, ha ha). I thought I had published this way back in August. Instead I'm publishing in NOVEMBER - the month of their due date when they were expected to be only one baby! 😁 Forgive me! I don't know what happened to my brain. Blame it on having 5 very busy nine-year-olds or COVID coming (finally) to our area and requiring me to work way, way, way more than usual. Both of those is probably true. But the Lord is good, and we're on the other side of this wave (I trust/hope/pray), so here's the birthday post, at long last!!
August 9th:
God is so good, keeps going through my head. How far we've come! How kind He's been! How much we love these kids He's blessed us with!

We didn't want Isaac to be the odd man out! This photo is so perfect for his personality and silliness towards his siblings. They LOVE when he plays with them. He graduates in 18 months! 😫💙

| With a brother from another mother (the photographer)! He fits right in! 😍 |
This was the birthday of the LEGOs for everyone except Marcie, who's our glamour girl! She got a fancy, long, sparkly dress.
 |
| This girl loves her dress-up! |
 |
| We had a waterslide party with all their friends. When the kids asked for How to Train Your Dragon cakes I had to enlist this lovely colleague to do it for me. These were not only amazing to look at but DELICIOUS: dark chocolate ganache and white chocolate peppermint! |
 |
| Isaac is amused, Gavin mildly so, but the dog is NOT. |
 |
| And a cool extra photo of the helicopter on Mt. Wilhelm. (Gavin was giving high altitude training to our newer pilots who are also great friends. We thank God for sending them!) |
