My little turtle nieces

Babies on the beach

Even though I raised four kids myself, I forget how fast babies change. My sister’s twins are crawling already! When she came for a week-long visit, the whole family was excited to spend time with these adorable little girls.

My parents’ lawn was still pretty wet and muddy. Parts of my yard were still under water. Yes, that’s what spring is like here. But we took the babies to Pretty Colour Lakes, where the sandy beach had dried nicely in the sun. When we set the babies down, they both took off immediately, scurrying on hands and knees towards the water, like speedy little turtles.

Hi Jo(e), Didn't you wonder where the twins thought they were going. It always amazed me how fast babies can crawl away. I miss my twins being that small. One of my twins is a grandmother...blast how did I get to be so old. LOL. Hope you are doing well . I am going to look thru some posts that I have missed. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

How dear. One of my favorite stages for babies, just chubby little dumplings.

They remind me of my twins, who are now 14. When I would place them down as babies they would crawl off in opposite directions. Oh, how I miss those days!
