I don't have a whole lot of time to write, but here are some more current shots of the girls in our new backyard. A few quick memories, then onto the quotes...
- Remember when I dropped Ariana under water at the swimming pool and she didn't even cry?
- Remember when I got a new (used) car that I didn't realize had an alarm system until Kierra set it off at the HOA party and I couldn't get it to stop beeping, so it probably looked like I was stealing a car to all of my new neighbors?
- Remember how I love 75 degree evenings on my back porch?
- Remember how I love date night, family home evening, and Sundays?
- Remember how you want to come visit us in Tucson?
