Compare and Contrast

These are my girls both pictured at about 7 months. I post this because I forgot to mention that at Venice's 9month check up the doctor actually asked if my children were "fathered by the same person." Yes, and not jokingly either.

Prophetic Passing
Anna M. Molgard January 27, 2008
I imagine he's running to Marjorie now,
Yes, running, not waving his cane.
I see him embracing his father and mother
While they keep repeating his name.
I see him now meeting his forebears,
Brother Brigham and Joseph are there.
Sweet reunion of prophets, united by service
That only such noble men share.
I see him embraced by the Savior
While Father says, "Good and well done.
So faithful in stalwart endurance, I welcome
My noble, most excellent son."
I then hear the ripples of laughter
As he says the reception's just fine,
But he hopes that he'll get an assignment or two
Since there's no need to waste any time.
I can hear his clear voice in the stillness
At the close of this sweet Sabbath day,
Have faith and move forward - there's work to be done.
President Hinckley would want it that way.

"9 month shots?!"

Yes, Venice turned 9 months and got her shots. She isn't very tough when it comes to doctors appointments...who are we kidding? She's a wimp about everything. That is why we love our Bindi-Boo! (we ironically call her "knuckles" because she's so sensitive) But how can we resist that sweet gummy smile??

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Robb! 30 years old! But you are only as old as you feel and look right? If that is the case...just 3 years ago robb was mistaken for a highschool student. true story.

Pictured above is Simi's drawing of herself with Robb. I've been meaning to put some of her art work on the blog for a long time. I know I'm her mom, but she really does amazing artwork. The detail of her pictures/people look like a kindergardener's not a 2 year old's. the other picture is Robb playing with the girls and his train set on his b-day...didn't I say 'there is always a train'?

Their Favorite Things: The girls have 2 favorite things to do together. Number 1 is Tickle Time with Daddy. They both have the same shriek and its a daily ritual when robb comes home.

Coming in at a close 2nd is Bath Time together. Simi now requires that Venice bathe with her...little sisters are good to have around to laugh at your jokes! (as pictured).
