Shirley - Can you post those pictures of your twin aunts again?

BEVERLY!  That was a very happy day.  Helena had a birthday very near mine and I brought her a LEO, a little lion, from Aussie.  THANK YOU for your birthday wishes. I did not expect such a celebration.  The Queen, The Gov. General, Primeminister  and 6 more.  Seems I qualified as a veteran from ww2,100.
I have always loved your photos, and seemed to have lost some computer skills along the way. Will go look at all those photos.  Was a surprise to open and see myself .  I read and feel for those with sickness.  Was a shock to read news of FlaJean. Take care and I just might get a photo on here. 

Beverly, I've looked hi & lo but haven't found any of the pics of my twin aunts!!!! I wanted to show you different versions and how each stayed true to their earliest photo of one looking straight at the camera and the other off into space (day dreaming).

Junee, there's that gorgeous bird! Do they screech as loud as other parrots?  I'm as sad as you about our FL Jean's diagnosis, just not ready to accept.  ARE YOU LISTENING, JEAN? You just tell those doctors you don't have time to give up and we will do the praying, okay?

I'm making a mad dash through the house with the vac.... youngest son will be here soon & he's the "neat-nic". My boys are as opposite and my sister & I were/are, and that is okay. Better get busy or cat hair will still be blowing around!  I must have 30 or more thumb drives, SD cards or other places to store all those old photos, but I guarantee they are NOT ORGANIZED!     

Shirley - I remember pictures of the twin aunts as small children and also as adults. I know exactly what you mean. My picture files are a mess! Even though they weren't well organized I used to be able to find what I wanted. That was with Windows XP. Then along came Windows 10 and I couldn't find anything! I got used to the new arrangement but there are still photos I can't find.

Imagine waking up to these
faces in the morning!

Beautiful children, Beverly!

Beverly -  They get more adorable with every picture I see!   It looks like their eyes are exactly the same color? Love the patterns on the pajamas and crib sheets.

"May I have this dance?" What a cute family pix, Bubble!

Visiting one of my cousins in J'lem who really has a green thumb.

Love this one too, This is a keeper!

Love all the photos!! Beverly, how can one not love and hug these beautiful babies!!

Bubble, very good green thumb too!! Love the curls and blue highlights!!

Bubble - Pretty Mom and charming young man. I just noticed that the color of his hair matches the shirt!

Thanks for all the nice comments about the babies.

Marilyne - Actually James' eyes are lighter than Beverly's. I think it all depends on the lighting. He also has light brown hair and hers is dark.

Keani



Wish I could see them in person. All three, Keani and the twins, are walking and getting into all kinds of mischief now!

Keani has an adorable grin, Bev!

All beautiful people and cute kids!  Loved looking at the pics!  Thanks!

Bev, those kids are so adorable that I would frame and put those smiles on the wall to brighten the mood/day!





   

And they are starting to get that ornery look in their eyes!  Love it. Look at that dimple in Keani's cheek! She (little Bev) is gonna be as much into trouble as the boys!

Where did that puppy come from, Bubble?  So is the hair "clip" painted on or tucked in?  He is game to try anything Illy is up to, right?  Fun times & thanks so much for sharing all of it with us, they are an inspiration!  He is going to be a tall dude, isn't he? 

Illy and Aviv has a small dog (I was dog sitting while they were in J'lem) and I added one on the frame for fun because he really  is part of the family.  Illy dotes on it as if it was a baby!
Aviv's front curls are died and it was a real fight to shorted it so that it would not hide his eyes.

Bubble - I love what you did with the picturss! Thank you.

I also wondered about the puppy, but he's a cute touch. Our pets do become part of our family. One of my daughters used to say "You pick your battles" and hair wasn't one of her priorities. He wanted his hair long and now, in his 30s, he still sports a long pony tail. Personally, I think Aviv's is cute. 

Shirley - Beverly is definitely going to be a challenge. She climbed onto the coffee table the other day!

Today "the kids" visited the Museum of illusions. They had fun!

 

 

 

What great photos, Bubble! Aviv has a flair for dramatics!

Bubble..
...waiting on the " head " chef...guess " no hanging about " there..

Loved all the pictures but I think I love your association with the kids even more!  Isn't it great!!!

Another one for Junee!

I forwarded it to Don- Radioman, and he was so happy to be reminded of old friends. He is so isolated now, not even using emails anymore No activities, no visitors, practically no outside contact. It is very sad, knowing he was so active and outgoing.
