And she turned 70 this week.

Yep. As in Seven-Oh.

M thinks seventy year old women are beautiful. Well, duh. If you look like this...

mimi5

I'd love to tell you some amazing beauty secret she has. But it's not anything you can smear on your face...

mimi6

From what I can tell, it's all about what she has filled her heart with...

mimi7

...and allowed to shine out through her smile...

She's 70. And, boy, does she make 70 look good.

And now for a random segue...
KT? Honey, you there? KT? Hey, girl, you entered the Creative Memories Giveaway and random.org chose your entry!

  6. She does look fantastic! I'm guessing it has something to do with having all those beautiful grandchildren to squeeze on. Their youth must rub off. And, if that's the case you'll continue looking 24 forever. :)

  7. hey, Octamom!!! still don't know your name or anything, so this will have to do for now... first, kick, kick, i missed this cool giveaway, not that you were open to internationals, but i missed out. oh well. and... Girl, you made me TEAR UP. what a great idea!! a photo shoot with each of the kids with their grandmother... I LOVED IT!!! and just love each picture. so different and expressive of the personalities involved. i love the evident love you all have for each other, and the tenderness she shows. you can see love in her eyes, and joy from deep within. Praise God from whom all blessings and joy come from!!! I am blessed for you, and just had to let you know it... wish i was closer to my mom and grandmother to do this photo shoot idea. may God allow the opportunity sometime in the future... smiles and many thoughts... hope you and your family are all well!!

  11. You are an amazing person. As a child M was loved by a beautiful woman, he has chosen true beauty in his wife and is creating, with both of those beautiful women, beautiful sons and daughters.

    I hope to inspire such love in my daughters-in-law.
