Why I Love My Girls

It's been a while since I've posted anything about my girls and what they are up too. They certainly keep me very busy and everyday is a new adventure at our house. I can honestly say that I love life right now and all the joy that my two girls bring to it. They make me smile, they make me laugh, and they make me look at life with a child like wonder.
Our girl Elley is all girl all the time. I have no idea where she gets this from.....probably from her aunt Maggie! Elley loves make-up, nail polish, purses, lip gloss, dress up, and the color PINK. She watches me put make-up on and asks if she can do the same. And she's a big girl, so she can do it by herself. She also carries around a purse at all times, no really, at all times. Most kids her age sleep with a teddy bear, she sleeps with her purse. At night, if she gets scared, she'll come into our room carrying her blanket and her purse. We never leave home without it.
Molly, who is now 18 months old and eligible for nursery, is a little feisty. I have a love/hate relationship with the age of 18 months. I love that she is learning new things and saying new words, but it's so hard to keep up with her and her curiosity. She loves to empty everything including, cabinets, cupboards, and drawers. The cupboards under my sinks in the bathroom is her favorite. She also loves taking Elley's purse when shes not looking. Molly will wait for the opportunity when Elley puts it down, wait for Elley to notice, laugh when Elley screams, and then run away when Elley chases her.
I love it when the 2 girls play together. I love to hear their laughs and I love to see their smiles. Elley is a great big sister and I can tell that Molly is soaking up everything little thing Elley does....the good and the bad!

Elley is 3 years old and will be starting preschool this fall. She is excited for this because she is a little social butterfly. She talks about going to school all the time to do art projects. She also loves reading stories, and going to the library. We are lucky enough to have a library right down the street. We visit it often and love storytime. Last month I signed her up for preschool art where we went for 3 Fridays in a row. All the kids, with the teacher, would sing a song, read a story, and then do an art project. Elley had a great time, she loves art.



Molly loves riding on this little bike. Elley got this for Christmas 2 years ago and never really picked up on the pushing yourself with your feet as young as Molly has. I love this picture of Molly! It's rare to get a smile this big out of her and get a picture of it.
Life is good for us right now. We've had some unexpected obstacles happen lately but nothing that wont make us a stronger family. We are thankful for our good families, good friends, and our faith in Jesus Christ.

Such gorgeous girls! I love how Molly is so girly (as is Ella) and already has a purse obsession! We can't wait for Ezra to be nursery age and can totally relate to the insatiable curiosity. :0)
