Happy First Birthday, Ellie and Maggie...

A year ago today, Ellie and Maggie decided that they had had enough of life in a small town. So they packed their bags and quit their lease two months early (born at 32 weeks gestation). Well, the Sheriff caught up with them heading out of town and put them under house arrest until they could pay off the remainder of their lease (NICU). In the end it only took them about 4 weeks to be paid in full, at which time they high tailed it out of town. Unfortunately, their run-ins with the law had just begun. Two weeks later they both wound up back under arrest for misconduct, and scarring the locals (RSV). This time the Sheriff was lenient and let them off after only 4 days for good behaviour. Maggie had a few more brief encounters with the sheriff, but otherwise until this month, the girls tried to keep a low profile. This month, getting tired of lying low, the girls enlisted their older brother in one last heist. The three of them snatched some gold jewelry and tried to make a run for it, but were quickly caught by the sheriff and hauled into court. The jewelry, however, was never found and the three of them were released for lack of evidence. And so ends their first year. What will they think up next?

With their history, the local Sheriff is going to be keeping a close eye on them.
