My Girls!

I was just chattin with some friends last night and we got to talking about our kids. You know talking. The kind of talking where you are more complaining. Complaining about how no one listens, no one minds, no one helps, someone is gonna think you're abusive. That kind of fun stuff.
The problem is that, once I got the complaining all out of my system and got on my way home, I started thinking about how really great my kids are! I thought my kids should know how much I truly appreciate the people they are becoming!

Breje and I still have our ups and downs, but there have been significantly more "ups" lately. I've recently realized that I've been focusing too much on how scary it is going to be to have a teenager, and forgetting how much fun I had with my mom when I was one! I've always thought that nothing would make me happier than to have the same relationship with my daughters as I have with my mom, and it seems we are on our way. Breje is getting to that age where she wants to go shopping with me! What could be better?! Also, some of my favorite times this summer was when Breje and I got to go jogging together. We had some great talks while jogging around our enormous block, betting who would quit first. Thank you, Breje!

It's also been so much fun getting to know our new baby girl! Brielle is all girl so far -- okay, except all she wanted to do with these flowers is eat them! The best part of having two girls is watching how much they already love each other! I am so lucky!

I'll have to get to my boys next time, but, for now, I wanted to celebrate my beautiful girls!
