Flew with the birdies,

to Tiburon California,

did a lot of hiking,

relaxing,

and sightseeing,

in The Marin Headlands.

Celebrating and staying fit with my daughter. She and her hubby are expecting twin boys!

It was our last mother-daughter time together before she becomes a mama too.

Cheers to you with the beauty of life~

Thanks so much Linda. Dre is a therapist just like you and I <3
Gorgeous daughter and lovely photographs. Congrats on the twins, that’s amazing!
They are here, but not yet fully here. I am so happy for her and Sean 👶 <3
That is so exciting! <3
👶👶 <3 <3
Lovely photo of your daughter. Twins! Double the joy. 🙂
Nervous & happy for her and Sean <3
<3
Congratulations on the good news of the twins soon to be a great joy for mama and the entire family, Cindy!
Thank you Peter! Hopefully I will only be in a state of shock for the first six or so years……
Congrats to all. Lovely scenes!
Thanks my friend & hope all is well with you!
Congratulations. Beautiful area.
Thanks John and it is gorgeous up here, except for the traffic!
Congrats & Best Wishes! <3
Merci beaucoup mon ami Bette <3
We’ll be at the coast here soon, too, to celebrate our anniversary. But the Texas Gulf Coast is not as gorgeous as the California Coast.We’ll enjoy it a lot, though.
Fantastic pictures, Cindy.
Good luck for your daughter, Cindy.
I want to spend more time exploring in the Gulf Coast area. It certainly looks beautiful to me!
Depends where go go. But that applies to any region, doesn’t it?
It does, but beauty can be found everywhere.
🙂
Twins! How exciting! Wishing happiness all around!
(Beautiful photos, too!)
Thanks so much & cheers back to you twice 👶👶
Looks like a lovely place to visit (not burning part of Northern CA!) and congrats to all of you about your baby news. Hope everything goes well!
I hope so too, both for the people in fire’s terrible path, and for my daughter and her twins. Life is beautiful, but scary too~
Really beautiful! And wonderful news.
Thank you twice 👶👶
🙂🙂
Lovely images you have a beautiful daughter and twins we have twins in our family hard work but bring such joy and the bond they have is amazing 🙂
It is interesting that my best friends in elementary school and high school were twins, and my first boyfriend was a twin. I am so looking forward to see their relationship unfold 👶👶
Yes, twins certainly have a unique relationship…Enjoy! 🙂 xx
<3 <3
Such stunning photos Cindy and your daughter is lovely. Congrats on having twins in the family.
Thank you! The boys are being eagerly anticipated 👶👶
Such a beautiful time for you and your daughter…
Yes, makes me a bit teary……
Twins, huh? They’re in for quite the ride. Trust me, they better get lots of sleep now! 😃😃
Yes, the first months are going to be pretty horrendous…..
Yeah, that’s partly true. But, they need to live in the moment, while those twins are little and sweet and cuddley. Mine are now 13, and it seems like they were teeny just yesterday. Enjoy them every minute. 😊😊
They are soooo excited! 👶👶 <3 <3
I’ll bet. They’re life is about to change, but definitely for the better. They’re a blessing. 😊😊
Great photos Cindy and they brought back memories. I used to live in Marin County back in the late 70’s early 80’s in Mill Valley. I worked in the former Army Medical Center that was on the Presidio of SF. I used to sail boat race on the SF Bay every Sunday after the sailing we’d all go over to 99 main (a great Irish Pub) in Tiburon. I loved that part of the country and it’s been so long since I’ve been back there. Thanks for bringing back pleasant memories.
Oh my! The Presidio area is so gorgeous, and I worked as a civilian contractor for the Navy for about 20 years. Your wonderful memories trigger mine! I stayed on Treasure Island when it was just closed, in the 80’s, all alone in the female officer’s barracks. The Navy sent me to do a survey in the bay area. I remember walking around the mostly deserted island at night looking back at the city. So beautiful! I have been coming to this area all my life. I think maybe the song is true. We both left our <3 's in San Francisco! The traffic now is beyond horrible though and seriously detracts from the quality of life.
That’s my old stomping ground! I miss my birthplace so much. Congratulations to Dre and your lovely family! 🙂
See comment above! Numero tres, “Left my <3 in San Francisco!" It is my favorite American city.
Congratulations to you and your daughter and family.
Merci beaucoup mon ami 👶👶
What a fun time! Beautiful photos. Wow, twins! Now, that’s exciting! Congratulations to all! 😀 <3
I will probably relax into it, in about 21 years…….or longer <3 <3 👶👶
Remember, Grandma is there to spoil! LOL!
My spoilers are locked and loaded……
😆
So pleased you had this special time together. My very best wishes to your daughter and her husband. xxx
Ahhh, thank you Mandy and be well my friend <3
Oh, Cindy!!!! I am so happy for all of you! Twins! How exciting and frightening. What a lovely trip to transition into grandparent hood. 😉 She’s beautiful!
It is so strange, seeing her so soon to be a mommy, of twins. It’s a whole new feeling of vulnerability and love.
What a very special time you had with your beautiful daughter. Best wishes to the family. Will this be your first grand child?
Actually, they, the two you see, will be my first grandchild(ren). I am so glad someone else can’t get their mind around the ‘twoness’ of them, in one bit, either.
Now my daughter, is not only my daughter, she is the soon to be mother of two twin boys, who will be my grandsons?
It is a chunk of a change to take in.
She is calm.
Of course she has no clear idea. Yet. What is coming.
This is one of the many blessings of life for all of us.
Love to you Pauline <3
How far away do they live? Are you going to be able to see them on a regular basis? What joy you have ahead of you.
Congratulations to you and your lovely looking daughter! 🙂
So happy for you. Congratulations. I posted a comment to your Facebook messaging and an earlier one too to your timeline on FB, but having trouble with internet connections, etc. while staying with my daughter in NE. while waiting to get back to Loveland, CO. to get all my things to get moved out here. Just bought a house in Grant, NE. and excited to get moved in finally. Went through a divorce recently and trying to get my bearings again and get settled in and begin a new chapter in my life; long story and might write about all that has happened, and get back to blogging I hope soon, but taking one step at a time, one day at a time. Enjoy every moment with your daughter and soon to be twin grandsons. Take care. Hugs.
This is a lot going on for you. The divorce is very hard. I know. I went through one. But, saying that, “Crisis often equals opportunity,” This was so very true for me. My life changed, so much for the better after divorce, and eventual remarriage. From the sound of your post, I detect a bit of a sense of adventure, “getting your bearings,” beginning “a new chapter of your life,” and then buying a new house, moving out of state. Scary, but also so exciting! Leaving a bad marriage is like leaving much more than half your troubles behind you! I wish you only the best my friend, and hope you blog about this if, and when, you want to.
Oh wow! Beautiful blue pics. Awesome. Your daughter looks so elegant and congratulations! She will be busy and handful with twins 🙂
Yes. She will be busy. I remember being absolutely gobsmacked with the shock of it, by my first born, her! Two at once kinda defies even my imagination.
Hehe…My sis has twins. Boys.3 years old now. Oh lord when she visit me, her two and my son together just burn down my roof and home a mess. Meal and bath time is doubled.
It sounds hair raising, and truly wonderful <3
Congratulations to your daughter. The photos are beautiful and the memories always remain.
The memories do remain. Which is kinda remarkable isn’t it. It almost seems like our memories will last longer than we do.
Congratulations!! Exciting news and fabulous photos. Your posts are always a gift.
You are a gift Rebecca. Be well my friend <3
Hugs and love coming back on speedy wings!!!
<3 <3
Ooh! Double trouble on the way, Lucky Dre and lucky Grandmama! Wishing you happy grandbabes, Cindy. Lovely post x
Her plan was to have one child…….laughing! 👶👶
So beautiful, congratulations to you all, Blessing and Happiness, Thank you, Love, nia
Awww, thank you more Nia <3
Congratulations Cindy and to Dre and Sean of the soon to be family of four.. We went to San Francisco a couple of time but we preferred the areas like Tiburon much better.. An exciting time and thank you for sharing with us. ♥
It’s moving past the concept stage now into a, “We’re about to be here,” reality!
How exciting… one of those life changing events for the better. ♥
Life is always changing, isn’t it.
Many congratulations to you and your daughter – sending love and hugs for the whole family at this happy time 😀💕
Merci beaucoup mon ami <3
Well congratulation to you and your daughter – love the photos, esp. the pelicans in flight.
Love the people, who love the birds! Thank you Emma <3
Congratulations Cindy, what wonderful news! Your photographs are beautiful and your daughter looks so happy and beaming. We wish you and your family a happy and healthy arrival of the twins 🙂💖 xxx
Thank you so much! We appreciate the good wishes 👶👶
Oh, congratulations, looking forward to baby-pics 🙂
Grazie mille 👶👶
Lovely trip; beautiful daughter
Thank you Derrick!
Congratulations on the growth of your beautiful family Cindy!
Thanks much. Life is just a series of adjustments 👶👶
It sure is Cindy! 🙂
<3
What delightful news to hear. Your daughter is one beautiful lady and I’ll look forward to some baby images (please 🙂 )
Awww, so sweet! <3
Congratulations … and baby photos, please, dear Cindy 🙂
So kind of you & so appreciated too! <3
das ist einfach nur toll, liebe Cindy, ansonsten frage ich dich, ob man sich an diese Hitze gewöhnen kann?
Die weltweite Hitze ist schrecklich. Die Feuer in Kalifornien schaffen eine surreale und beängstigende Szene.
I hope everything goes well for your daughter! How exciting!
I hope so too, and thank you Josh <3
My pleasure!
👶👶
Congrats!!
Grazie!
What an exciting time for your family, Cindy. You soar!
My <3 is always with the birds!
Congratulations to you and your daughter ( and your son-in-law ofcourse :D) Twins are always a bit special.
They are lucky because they have their own inviolate private world. 👶👶
How exciting for your family… a special time.
Yes, indeed and a tad scary too!
Wunderbare Bilder Cindy! Ich glaube, dass deine hübsche und feine Tochter dir ähnelt. Have a good time. Ernst
Ahhh, you are kind and special Ernst. Danke Schoen <3
Wonderful news Cindy, better get your running shoes out so you can keep up with your two new grandsons when they arrive.
Leslie
Especially because they are likely to run in opposite directions! 👶👶
You do have a little time before that happens but not very long.
True, and people get accoustomed to things over time……
You can build up to it….
Exactly, incremental exposure is best.
😉 (it will be fun)
<3 <3
😉 <3 <3
That is wonderful news Cindy! Congratulations to you and your daughter. May the twins thrive in love.
Lovely and thoughtful sentiments Brad. Thank you.
You’re most welcome!
Lovely photo. Twins! Fantastic news! Congratulations to you both.
Muchas gracias mi amiga <3 <3
Aw, Cindy, this is so sweet. Congrats to your beautiful daughter on the upcoming birth of twin boys — hope she likes Legos and balls, trains and trucks!! What an exciting time for ALL of you!
Rockets. She likes rockets and the solar system. She loved this a kid and spend a lot of time in her homemade rocket with her brother. Her nursery has a space theme, so these babies are going to be spending time in outer space, whether they want to or not! 👶👶
Oh my! Twins. You may need a new camera as it will get quite a work-out. My best to you all Grandma Cindy. Santé! xx
My camera is already showing signs of fatigue from overuse!
No surprise here.
