It’s been busy with the babies and so much work/income that hobbies lately have been sleeping (if we can) and traveling. If you look at our budget today vs 5 years ago when we started the journey: we have more than doubled our income, and expenses have slightly increased with the babies and some small luxuries. Its exponential.

They like to place a baby pool at the bottom of their slide and fill it with water, in effect creating a water slide. I have been trying really hard to conserve water this summer, but I had a major fail recently. One afternoon a few weeks ago, I let the girls play outside with the hose. They have a blast.

My oldest baby's first Christmas: Every year, our girls find an ornament in their stocking that reflects their current interests, such as Elmo. She crocheted one for each of her great-grandchildren back in 1980. My mother left the hand-written gift tag on the ornament all those years ago. But the kids' ornaments really dominate the tree.
