In One Year

Out of curiousity (and maybe a little nostalgia) I looked at pictures from one year ago.

I was blown away by how much the girls have changed in one year!

Here is February 2012:

 ......................................................................................

One year ago,

Lucy didn't even have teeth,

could only crawl,

and had barely enough hair in front for a tiny barrette.

Now she runs,

dresses up,

wears hair bows and pigtails,

and has lots of teeth in her cute little grin.

 One year ago,

Ava was just learning her alphabet,

her hair fit into a clip,

the most complicated thing to learn was potty training,

and she was obsessed with Thomas the Train.

Now she is learning basic phonics and writing letters and numbers,

her hair falls to her waist,

she loves to tell big, expounded stories,

we answer questions like, "are there night monsters?",

and she still loves Thomas, but Strawberry Shortcake too.

 

It is amazing what changes in one year.

It has been a good year.

Now they are sisters that have tea parties and are princesses and play silly with bears

and learn verses together and wake up and go crazy together.

They are growing up, and I wouldn't miss this life for anything.
