LOL It appears that someone ate the strawberries off one side of the cake.  And we are always birthday candle challenged....

Twins are Two

Their friend, Sylvia, has a birthday one week before, so they celebrated together on fat Tuesday with pancakes.

In honor of their birthday I want to share this sweet story about Vange. He was with me at the Ash Wednesday Mass.  I gave each twin a little round mint to keep them happy during the consecration.  Vange held onto his instead of putting it in his mouth and immediately asking for more as he usually does.  At the communion rail, Deacon blessed him then communicated me.  Vange, reverently, then put the mint in his mouth.

A Daughter-in-love This Year

Kevin took Analisa out for a walk on the snowy back country roads, where their relationship began with long walks, and proposed.  She said Yes!  Sometime this year we will gain a Galbraith daughter-in-love!  Such happiness and blessings for our family!
