These girls are becoming the best of friends. Of course they still bicker, steal each other's toys, and use the occasional push to show who's boss, but those moments are becoming less, and these moments are more frequent. (Both were so excited to see that Mama had gotten them matching shirts - $2.00 each at Goodwill, BTW). Austen especially - she kept looking at her shirt, looking at Kaitlyn's shirt, and just giggling because she couldn't contain her excitement.)
They are unique, strong-willed, fun, and loving. Life is hectic right now with full-time paid jobs, then a second full-time job when we get home. We don't do much sitting or relaxing these days. But, this is all part of the adventure, and we are taking it in stride and enjoying it. There are difficult times (think two kids screaming at the same time because they are exhausted from a full, fun day at day care, one wants her milk NOW, the other is trying to put her shoes on and can't quite get it, and all the while our "small dog syndrome" dog is yelping at the top of his lungs - good times), and to overshadow those there is a lot of laughter and cuddles, pleases and thank yous, moments of sharing and holding hands...that make this whole ride so worth it. We are the best parents we can be, and I believe whole-heartedly that between the mistakes we are inevitably making here and there, we are doing a lot of right by our girls.
Life is pretty darn good.
