My Girls


These are my girls! God has definitely blessed me with two beautiful little ones. I am amazed daily by these two. Mackenzie loves her little sister and wants to hold her often. I hope they grow up to be the closest friends!

This is my "Curly Girl." Every where we go, total strangers touch her hair. Look at that fabulous smile! Doesn't it warm your heart? Did you ever read that poem about the little girl with the curl? Here it is:
There was a little girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good
She was very, very good!
But when she was bad, she was terrible.

This describes my Mackenzie. She is the most loving child you will ever want to meet. She can turn on the charm like no other (she gets that from Daddy). She has a laugh that can melt your heart. She is incredibly smart...and more strong willed than I ever thought possible. She has sent me crying on more than one occasion. And...it is this beautiful laugh that has spared her a few swats when I wanted to hang her from the ceiling fan.

Natalie is my breath of fresh air. She is always happy, always smiling. When I am feeling sad, frustrated or worried, I can count on her to give me a smile that says everything will be okay. She turned 4 months old yesterday and has been sleeping through the night for over a month. She hasn't woken in the night even one time since then. I feed her at 8:00, kiss her goodnight and lay her in the crib. She just smiles at me and drifts off to dreamland. Somewhere around 7:30 or 8:00 in the morning, I hear her sucking her thumb furiously and I know she is hungry. Doesn't she have the most beautiful eyes?

Thank you Lord for my two precious girls!
