Well it’s been great having family here for the week. My sister is so great with and for the children, and i don’t have to worry about them when she is here. They leave tomorrow, which will make me sad.

As hard as it is to believe, the twins are 9. We had family and friends and some poker buddies. Great day all around with lots of food, laughter and alcohol. Early evening Sierra turned her birthday bash into having the three girls stay the night. Fine with me. Parents brought over spare clothes. At 11:30 pm one of the girls comes downstairs crying to say she missed her mommy and wanted to go home. Within 30 minutes the other two girls followed suit. At midnight, when they were all gone, Sierra starts crying because her friends had all left. Such drama.
