These adorable girls are ONE. I can't remember where I heard it first, but whomever said, "The days are long, but the years are short" put it so well. There are long days with little ones, but when you celebrate a milestone like this one, you can't help but feel a twinge of sadness over how quickly it passes. I can't tell you how happy I am that we actually got a picture of these girls like this on their party day. Both were wiped out and ready for a nap at this point!
Sisters and babies. Recalling the heat last summer, just before the end of our pregnancies, makes the triple-digit weather so much more bearable.
The 'big kids' eating their lunch on the front 'lawn' (a.k.a. MOSS). RM has just been so enamored by GA lately. See how he's giggling at her? Anytime I suggest we are going for a visit with cousins, his reply is something along the lines of "WOW!!!"
I am still absolutely floored by this confection creation that Lauren made for the girls' birthday. It was absolutely more stunning that photos could ever suggest. And it is all made of cake and icing. Completely edible. She really has an incredible talent - this is only her fourth cake she's done like this! (And the first girls' cake, we're so glad!)
The comparison between how C ate her cake and how J handled the same are a great exercise in showing the contrast in personalities. See how Clementine takes a dainty finger to her icing? She tasted it, and liked it, and contentedly did the same for about 25 minutes, while taking in the chaos around her.
J however, chose to smash her palms into the icing, squish it between her fingers and fists, and then screamed about how awful this goo was all over her hands. When she got a small taste of it, she shuddered and screamed louder. For those of you who are around her enough to have sampled her appetite for SCREAMING... well, you get the picture. A very short video below. She knows what she likes, and she knows what she doesn't like. I will never be able to argue otherwise! :)
