they are 1!!!
What a day. A happy happy happy day that we all made it ONE year! Talking to my best friend today I had to admit that I was an emotional mess about the babies turning 1. Mostly because it all just went too fast. Waaaaaay too fast. And they're not 'babies' anymore. I remember feeling like my heart would just burst if I had any more joy in it last year at this time and have pretty much felt that all year long (not that there haven't been MANY other emotions overwhelming me at times). I just watched the slideshow of the babies' NICU stay. I think I cried even harder watching it now than I did the first time I saw it. It must be the music.

Family Trip part 2: Nebraska
After leaving our friends in South Dakota we continued our journey to Omaha. We were able to spend some quality time with my brother Dustin & Heather and their little ones Brogan & Parker. While we were there two of my former coworkers from the Children's Hospital came over with each of their youngest kids for a wild playdate. Oh how I wish I still worked with them - I miss you girls dearly!
Nice work Oscar
We finally made our way to my parents' house where we stayed for the remainder of the trip... and things got even cozier as we joined my other brother Tony, Katie and their little guy Sam. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and early Christmas together. The last holiday we all spent together Sam was the only grandbaby... 3 years laster there are 6!
Willie Grace waving hi on Thanksgiving
Oscar is picking up on his cousins love for trains
Lainey is obsessed with putting her finger through things so my Aunt Judy thought we should give her black olives... sure enough...
To end our trip we celebrated my parents' 40th wedding anniversary with a party full of family and dear friends.
Silly man Sam all ready for the party
My fabulous Broekemeier cousins with the trio
Finally meeting their Great Grandma Della Mae
Cheers to Mike and Mary for many more years of happy togetherness!
Reese and Oscar became quick friends. They sat like this with these funny expressions for the longest time.
