Well, it's been over 2 years since I've done a blog post.
I've basically been using Facebook to keep up with pics of the girls and funny
things they say. However, I have lots of friends on Facebook that I'm not
really close FRIENDS with, and decided I may want to keep some things more
private....
So here I am again - not sure what I'm going to say. Not
sure if I have anything at all to say. Pretty certain no one at all is
interested in what I have to say. Absolutely certain that my kids are
growing up way too fast, and I won't be able to remember all the things that
are so important to me right now.
The Girls. They are my motivation for everything that I
do. They make me crazy. They make me happy. They are what
gets me out of bed in the morning, and the reason I'm so exhausted at the end
of every day. I wouldn't trade one minute of our crazy life....
Madelyn Grace - my firstborn....
I often call her my Mini Me. She's smart and sensitive
and loves to read. Even when she was only 1 or 2 years old, we said she had an
"old soul". She is wise beyond her years and takes life in
general very seriously. She wants to be an Olympic gymnast, and though I
don't know where her talent lands on the spectrum, she definitely has the focus
and determination to make it happen if she doesn't change her mind. She
is small for her age, but super strong. She's generally well liked by all
her peers, but doesn't seem to be overly concerned with being Mrs. Popularity.
Right now she spends about 8 hours a week practicing gymnastics, and has never
complained about going to practice. She's most at home in the gym.
She always assumes the best in people and wants to help anyone she can.
I'm overwhelmed by her grace, her sweet spirit and her thoughtfulness.
Aubrey Kaitlyn - my baby....
Aubrey is just like her Daddy. She has a magnetic
personality and people are drawn to her. Everyone seems to notice when
she enters the room. She loves to be the center of attention, and always
wants to be surrounded by people. She's stubborn - knows what she wants
and how to get it. While she's only 5 years old, she has the ability to
get people of all ages to do whatever she wants. She's a natural
leader. Although they are totally different, she wants to be just like
her sister and they are truly best friends. Aubrey is in her first year
of cheerleading, and excels already. More than anything she loves her
family and her friends. I'm constantly amazed by her confidence, her joy
and her sweet heart.
We have a crazy life. I work full time, Clint works full
time, both girls have practice 3 days a week, and we are all over
committed. It's a crazy journey, but it's our life.
