Sunday wrap up

Thanks for allowing me to share my backlogged pictures of the boys this week. We went apple picking today after the rain cleared, and I took what narrowly misses out on being my favorite shot of the boys. I'll share it later this week after I edit the pictures I took.

Secondly, I'd love it if you'd consider nominating my blog for the nest mommy blogger awards. I don't know which category you think would fit best: multiples, or special needs. Click this button to nominate me.



As a reminder, the divine caroline award is still up for vote, please click here to vote for my blog in the category of parenting.
