• The Twins are Teens!

  Over the years I have often blogged about “the twins”,
  they are my great niece and nephew.

  My sister had her son, Lee, when she was seventeen.
  We raised him together for a few years,
  she worked full time to support him while
  I stayed home to watch him,
  and they were some of the best years of my life.
  She got married when Lee was 8 and they moved to Idaho,
  it broke my heart but I went out to see them as often as I could.
  When Lee was 15 yrs old he called to ask if he could “come home”,
  he missed his family in PA.
  By this time I had gotten married so Lee came to live
  with Dave and I for three years.
  Lee and Dave are as  father and son,
  they bring so much joy to one another’s lives.
  Eventually Lee moved in with his girlfriend (now wife) and soon two were four,
  they had the twins.
  When the twins were three we started bringing them to our house on weekends
   for a few reasons

  -They lived in a small apartment in the city
  and needed to get out and run around in the country,
  -We needed children to fill this big old farmhouse,
  -Their mom was glad for a break
  -I needed a subject to photograph!

  Here are a few of my favorite pix of the twins

  

  

  

  

  

  Happy Birthday Lee and Leisi!!
