Graduations and nostalgic thoughts

 Recently, as I was looking through pictures from Jesse's graduation, it hit me that this happened A WHOLE YEAR AGO:                      

                     Fun memories :)

 My kids turned 10 this year, my baby brother graduated one year ago, I started taking "evening primrose oil" to keep the wrinkles away... :).

Life is beautiful and fleeting. Spend it with those you love.

I took this picture about a week ago, but it got dark so I wasn't able to take anymore and had to wait for a day with better light! Thus, the reason this picture is different than the rest. I really like it though, so including it in this post.

Graduation Pictures

A few graduation pictures I took of my brother, Jesse Earl Duncan Jr., class of 2016 [Victory Christian Academy] :

Aiden Daniel Inman

On March 30th at 1:04 pm, my lovely sister Jessica gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Aiden Daniel Inman:

About a week later, we finally got to meet him:

Savannah, Isaac, and Aiden Daniel. The twins are enamored with him. They were amazed by his tiny fingers and ears. Savannah thought he looked "just like his name" and Isaac talked to him and told him he never had to be afraid. They make this mama feel all the feels ;)

We love you Aiden Daniel, and can't wait to see you again.
