Your monthly dose of TTTS Awareness

"Twenty-two weeks into her pregnancy Kim’s ultrasounds appeared normal, but her gynecologist recommended that since she was expecting identical twins, she see a specialist. A second ultrasound revealed that the twins were in trouble."
"The disease can be fatal but prevention and being proactive with a pregnancy can ultimately prevent complications.


PS: Shreveport is in the Houston area. It's worth the drive once diagnosed.

Oquirrh Temple

We played with friends Monday and they had this awesome toy. We need one stat! Imagine that, they sell it at Costco.

Tuesday & Wednesday Dad did a two day production and brought home 4, 5, and 9 foot cardboard tubes. We played with them for hours. We have a ornery Grace in a tube.
And a crazy Kate in the tube.
Thursday we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It was beautiful. The girls wanted to be twins and the boys...well are. Grace and Kate loved the chandeliers. They were beautiful. One similar to the one in the Celestial room was hung at the 2nd floors eye level, over handing the stairs of the first floor. To be level with it, and to see how big it was, interested Grace. She later mentioned that "that thing was bigger than my mom". {Thanks Grace}

Then this little grouping is just for fun...from the van you can see the Oquirrh Temple,
  
then turning, faintly see the SL Temple.
Turning a little more you can easily see Jordan River Temple,
and a bit more and zoom lens, you can see the Draper Temple. 
Four temples from one spot isn't too bad.
