Kandy Dandy!

Kandy came the same day Jake's parents left.  The timing was PERFECT cause Jake got strep throat and was totally out of commission for almost 7 full days.  It was really nice to have Kandy here to help with the Scarlett and the twins (plus they seemed to not feel well, got better, then got a little sick again after their shots).

Here Kandy is facetiming with her girls - showing them the aerial fireworks my neighbor was shooting (we had perfect seats in our living room) and all the fireflies.

 Siena-nena & Jaidey Lady in their new outfits - thanks Kandy!!!

The day after the doctor both girls started social smiling - just a little bit.  Especially Siena (can see in this picture she's smiling at Aunt Kandy).

Scarlett wouldn't wear clothes almost the whole time Kandy was here.  I had to bribe her to put on clothes to ride in the car.  We re-did Kandy's red in her hair - it looks fabulous!

The weather was all over the place.  I think Kandy understands now why they say if you hate the weather in Michigan you just have to wait 5 minutes.  One afternoon we got about 10 minutes of crazy hail.  These pieces weren't even the biggest ones we saw!

Kandy brought her this darling outfit that she would only wear with blue socks and snowflake gloves. Scarlett didn't want her photo taken... "Stop!"

It was so great to have sister time.  Her 6 day trip was waaaay too short.  If you adjust for the "twin vortex factor" she was only here for 17 minutes!  But we got some projects done and had a great time together.  I love spending time with her!!!  Lovest you Kandy Dandy, who's oh so Handy!

Sister time is the BEST! I'm so glad she was able to come spend the week with you!

Your girls are SO CUTE! Love the pictures! And I love it when they start smiling - those first gummy smiles are so wonderful! LOVE!

Whoah! Suddenly they look a lot more alike! Is that just me or are they really looking more alike now?

Nothing better than having your sister come out to keep you company!!

Sisters are wonderful! Glad that you were able to have some time together!

Hail in the summer is always weird to me--I don't know if I'll ever get used to it!

Oh, and those early smiles are priceless!!!

I agree with Carolyn- I was shocked at how much they look alike. I realize they are identical, but wow that is going to be confusing.
