Genevieve has started squealing. She's just practicing her vocal talents and making the most adorable sounds. Liliana has been listening intently but isn't interested in yelling. It's so neat that two people with an identical genetic make-up are so different. They're on opposite ends of the spectrum.

They showcased they personalities starting in the womb. VV always aggressive, kicking and moving, dominating the food source and the living arrangement. Lily just quietly accepting what came her way. Lily reminds me a lot of Jordan when he was a baby. Completely content (as long as she's in my arms).

I wonder what the future holds...

So big

I'm amazed at how my girls grow everyday. Somewhere along the way, I forgot what it's like to have a baby. They're so amazing. I thought I didn't want any more children, (that's what I told the Lord) and especially not a girl! (I prayed for a boy when I found out I was pregnant). So of course, the Lord blessed me with two girls!

It's spiritual, it's deep, it's gratifying. I don't need to eat or sleep or take a shower or leave the house as long as they will smile for me. (Don't worry, I do shower). That one little smile makes up for every moment of tummy ache, over stimulation and exhaustion. As long as they give me that soulful look of unconditional love, all is right in the world.


Jordan is the greatest son a mother could want, and is growing into an amazing big brother. I pray every day that he will be a great strength and example to his sisters. This is an amazing opportunity for him and I want him to know how lucky he is to have siblings. He will be a fine young man.
