Girlies

This beautiful young lady is the best big sister you'll ever meet. She loves Chanel so much and is always so eager to help with her, whether it's checking on her, singing her a song, wanting to hold her, or helping mommy with minor details. Whatever it is, Elena is so willing to play her part in our family.

Lately, she has been getting out of her "tom-boy" phase and is becoming a little more girly. She enjoys playing dress up now, especially when daddy joins her and wears her clip-on earrings.



She has an incredible love and devotion to all things living. We wouldn't be suprised if she grew up to become a vet. She isn't scared of anything. These were some of the cool things she encountered in FL, as well as some jellyfish and crabs.

Our Sugar Cookie, Chanel, adores her big sis. She loves it when Elena gives her loves and pays attention to her. She adds such joy and happiness to our family.

One of Chanel's most favorite things (besides all the attention she gets) are ceiling fans...that's right...ceiling fans!!! We have two in our house and as soon as one catches her eye, she'll stare at it forever and smile and make faces at it. It's the cutest thing! Earlier tonight she had fallen asleep in my arms, so I carried her in to the bedroom and laid her down. She stirred a bit, but didn't fully wake, so I assumed she'd fall right back to sleep. I didn't hear anything from her so I didn't check on her until ten min. later. I walked into the room to find her wide eyed, grinning at the ceiling fan:) She seemed as if she was trying to tell it something. I'm sure she's having beautiful conversations with angels. She's definately our little angel!

I am so grateful Heavenly Father has blessed me and trusted me to be the mother of these two beautiful girls. I can't imagine my life without either of them and I'm so lucky to have them and the most handsome, thoughtful, incredible-in-every-way husband to be my partner in crime as we attempt to raise these little ladies:)
