Big Sky Country

Every year Perris has helped me have a trip by my lonesome. Recharge time! This year I was generously brought to Montana by our dear friends Lynette and Stephan!  Also generously flown to us by my parents was Auntie Katie, who stayed and watched the boys for me. I have one more day here, and it's really been wonderful. 

Lynette birthed two beautiful girls earlier this month and lucky for me I got to have a preview of twin motherhood. Lynette not only looks great but has entered the threshold of motherhood with the gentle calmness that she so easily possesses!

I've tried to be helpful, but I'm sure they've been more generous to me than I to them. They are such wonderful friends. 

Living on an Air Force base has been really fun. My favorite parts have been hearing the national anthem played both morning and night, and the choppers overhead. Going to the clinic brought a flood of memories back to my childhood and adolescence! I really loved being an Air Force brat. These girls will love it, too!

One night we had a tasty meal of homemade burgers and sweet potato fries. Lynette said I needed to share with Perris!  All this food contributed to my growing belly. 14 weeks in striped blue shirt, 15 weeks in neon shirt. A little trip to cafe rio helped, too!

Glad to be back to my boys soon. Surely we have all grown in our appreciation for each other!!
