My adorable nieces

These are my neices. Joanna is on the left and Deborah is on the right. They are just about as fun as can be. I rode to Ohio with my parents and home with my sister Kris and her kids. (She's going to meet her husband in Chicago in a week. Long story.) So I got to share a hotel room with her and 6 of her 7 kids and ride home with them. (Her oldest stayed with Justine in Ohio for a few days). I was very glad to be able to help out. The ride home went well. I was able to drive so she could take care of the rest. I decided it is very fun to travel with twins. If you've ever noticed that a baby can turn an adult into a googly kid, it's even more so with twins. Every where we went, people would exclaim over the babies and how cute they are. It was way fun. I got to have a glimpse into my sister's life. I could really tell how used to it she is. She has a positive outlook on life, even though hers is very stressful right now with moving and such.

Here's an example. We stopped at a strawberry patch (pictures to come) and this lady was kind of grumping about her husband. She was saying over and over how he should be there to help her and then she yelled to her grandson about where grandpa was. He said welding. Boy that made her mad. "You tell him this is not a day for welding!" Then she starts small talking with us about where we are headed and such. So Kris pipes up, We're headed to Iowa with my six kids in the car. Actually we have baby twins in there. Do you want to see them? The lady perks up and says of course she wants to see them. So she opens the door and starts oohing and aahing. I'm in the background cracking up about how quickly she has changed her tune. Kris has been a blessing to me with her positive outlook and her insistance that she serves a great God. She never misses an opportunity to share that with others. I love her for it and I wish she didn't have to live in North Carolina.
