Spring, 2008 Update

Elizabeth is great. She is so beautiful. I often find myself staring at her just admiring how beautiful she is. She's really growing up, changing into a little lady right before my eyes. Just the other day, in her Easter dress, she looked so tall and slender. Like such a big girl. She asked me to straighten her hair that morning. "No curls, Mommy. Just straight, okay?" "Ok, baby. I get it. Just straight." She only has 6 weeks left of Pre-K and then she's off to Kindergarten. I'm not sure when I'll cry more, when she begins Kindergarten or when she gets married. It's going to be a close call, I know it. (tearing up now at just the thought of the first day of K).

Caroline is great too. She's SUCH a cute, funny, adorable, little kid. She is embracing all that is two. She seems to have gone from zero-60 with her words in no time at all. She surprises me all the time.... like a few weeks ago she just belted out the words (and hand signs) to that song "I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee. Won't my mommy be so proud of me..." She doesn't say the words perfectly, but you totally know what she's saying even in her jibberish. She's too cute. Her sister is her best friend and there is a big part of her who thinks she's 4.

I find when Elizabeth reaches milestones, I cry. With Caroline, I cheer. I get overwhelmed with pride with both of them. They're just such neat kids. I'm so blessed to be their mom. We took the girls to Birmingham, AL to see Playhouse Disney Live last week. They LOVED it! They both got a stuffed June (from Little Einsteins) whom they equally cherish. We are planning a trip to Disney World next year with my family.

Charles and are really good. We celebrate 9 years (of dating) next month. We still laugh, still find time to hug, still joke, and still find joy in doing things for each other. And yes, I still want to ring his neck on occasion. Lucky for him - I think he's cute so up until now I've let him live. :)
