Sisters

It has been very gratifying to me to see the growth in my girls this summer. Jolie has started talking, which we LOVE. She has a hearty appetite, when she's not sick, has the cutest cheesy grin and a zest for life.

Mierae has given up naps and sleeps much better at night, and goes to bed much earlier! She is sweet and affectionate and apologizes over and over if she does something that upsets me. She has started saying, "Family hug!" after we have family prayer, and we love the chance to get hugs and kisses. She tries to include Jolie in all of her make-believe play.

I love seeing these two interact and enjoy playing together. After 16 months, this is what I hoped for and pictured for my two girls. I knew we were on the right track when Eric asked Mierae who her best friend was. She responded without hesitation, "Jolie is my best friend." I hope it will always be that way.

What sweet pictures of Mierae and Jolie! They are beautiful girls! I swear, every girl needs a sister! They turn in to your very best friends and the ones you can trust openly with your heart! Maybe it's because they know us so well! I'm so happy your girls have each other! You are all so darling! Sure miss you!
