Toothless Smiles

Tessa is growing up....her toothless smile is a moment that I want to capture and treasure!  It is such a milestone to lose your two front teeth.  She is starting to look like a kindergartner, oh my, it will be here before we know it.  She is all registered, excited, and eager!  We treasure our little girls and while we are thankful they are growing and that they are healthy.....we don't want to miss a thing!  Such shining stars of joy and happiness in out lives!

Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring are "popping" up all over the place, there is such a breath of fresh air in our yard....a mix of flowers, the farmers in the fields, and we love the sunshine!  The sunshine in sky, but also the two cutie little rays of sunshine that are running around in the yard!  I love to see them running free from any care in the World, so innocent, joyful, and adorable!

Artful Artist

We arrived home for the evening and the girls noticed some geese visiting our pond. Tessa could not get to her art kit fast enough, she had to "sketch" our visitors.  I love her creativity, enthusiasm, and joy of art! She is a daily inspiration to us!  There is such a sincere joy that she has when she is creating!  This is spilling over into Ella's personality as well!

I will flip for you!


It is not out of the ordinary for the girls to go and dress up then surprise us. This was their gymnastics "get-up".  They came running into the living room to show their stuff. They had to get to water bottles for break time during their routine.  I did have to stop them when they wanted to do "cannonballs" off the couch, as if it was a pool....oh girls, there is certainly an occasionally daring aspect to your personalities.....hmmmmm. wonder where that comes from?

Our Student!

I know someone who loves ....loves....loves....school! She is learning so much and we are so proud of her.  She loves to share what she is learning.  Then she plays teacher and Ella gets to be the student.  At this point she is all in for that.  I was able to visit Tessa's classroom a few weeks ago and it was such a treat!  It is always enjoyable for us to go in an see her in the school element, she is a bit different, maybe just around her parents.  She is doing so well, it is hard to believe that it won;t be long before we have a kindergartner in our family!  She is also all signed up for Little League....Wow life will be changing.... Special times....

Giving Heart

This is one caring and giving little girl. We are so thankful for out loving girls.  When I picked her up from Lorene's house and Ella was all ready to go.  Ella asked Tessa and I "do I make your heart feel happy?" then she gave us a big squeeze.  She sure knows how to give love and smiles to others.
