~ Continuation of part 1~
In
November on Thanksgiving Eve, we were told that twins were going to be
born into the family. I honestly couldn't believe it myself but, here is
the proof:
It is a complete miracle that my brother (who had the bone marrow transplant) and my sister in law were able to conceive twins. The doctors said that after they had Liam (the oldest) that they would not be able to have anymore kids (because of the kind of chemo my brother received). This just goes to show what GOD is capable of! Not only did He give us one baby but, He is blessing us with 2!!
We (well, they) now have: Liam (4 1/2), Benjamin (2 1/2), Emery Kate (1) and the twins Laila (Baby A) and Elizabeth (Liza) (Baby B) coming in March!

In December, my favorite sister and my favorite oldest niece came for Christmas and we (and Grandma) took 2 mini trips.
First, lets have Christmas pictures:
The Kirkland
Children Offspring were very good last year
We all came back after the Christmas Eve service at my parents church to have supper on the farm
Doing what sisters do and photobombing!

For Christmas, my sister bought everyone a book to read to the grandchildren
Lia got a book (that she later told me she read in 2 days!!!). I can't believe that she did that. I definitely was not reading 400 page books when I was her age. Well, I probably was but, it took me longer than 2 days, I guarantee you!

Daughter looking to see what mother got!
Let's not leave the grandchildren out. They got a Mom (Amy) approved trampoline. The liner (net) is sewn to the mat so the kids won't fall out and there are no springs attached (which is awesome)!

Mini trip 1 was taken to Henry County's only waterfall. I would tell y'all where this is but, I can't. Not only can't I tell you where it is but, I really can't tell you how to get there because I really can't remember! If you know of the location, please keep it to yourself. Here are the pictures:
I was a tad bit behind so, I decided to snap a picture of them walking
So pretty!

Dad and Lia. That girl will be 14 this year and she is already up to Dad's shoulders. The pediatrician told my sister when she took my niece (her daughter) to her 2 year old check up that by the time she was 18, she'd be 6"4'!!!

The falls and I (oh, and Lia photobombing. I guess that this was payback from earlier!!!).
GO GO Gadget arms!!!
Well, I'm off to write part 3 (what?!?!?!) of "What has happened to the Farmers
Daughter??" I hope that y'all had fun reading! I'll see everyone in the
other post!
