One of the biggest highlights for me was getting an extended visit from my childhood friend Taryn Shaw Vanderburg and her four beautiful kids. She has twins too! Below is a shot off all nine kids sharing a chick-fil-a lunch at my moms. As little girls Taryn and I spent many a night at slumber parties and sleepovers fantasizing about weddings and husbands and careers and kids....I don't think that having nine kids between us and both of us having twins in the same years every entered our wildest dreams!
Naked babies everywhere! Kinsleigh and Avery are three months older than Claire and Ronan.
A special brother moment. Taryn's boys, Grayson and Addison are (were at the time of this pic) three and four years old.
- We took a trip to Galloping Grace Youth Ranch in Rio Rancho. The kids do some farm chores, participate in a "gratitude project" and then get the opportunity to ride horses! The people who run this ranch are truly great and have amazing volunteers to help them!

Thanks for the visit Taryn. I am so happy that even though you have lived on the east coast for over ten years we seem to have grown even closer than we were when we were kids. Can't wait to see you again, and hopefully Daken sometime soon too! Love you!
