Growing up Girls

I often miss the baby moments with my girls and long for the toothless smiles and soft coos. It's funny how quickly we forget the sleepless nights and colic or the stinky diapers. But then I marvel at each stage my girls go through. I am amazed daily by the beautiful, strong, compassionate and willful young lady that Brenna is becoming. And greatly enjoy the thoughtful, cute, funny, ornery little girl that Cailyn is and look forward to watching her go through the ages I've been blessed to go through with Brenna. I wish sometimes I could keep them young forever and protect them from bad things and heartbreak. But I can't. I can only guide them and pray for them. I know that I am so very blessed to have them. I know that they are God's children that He has entrusted me with. Above all, with prayer each step of the way, He will guide me to be just the mom they need me to be.

I am so very blessed to call them my daughters!
