My big girls

The girls went to Vacation Bible School last week, and they loved it. They memorised songs and movements and performed in front of the congregation on Sunday. It was the best feeling to see my daughters love the Lord, and sing out praise to Him. I always said I want to teach them about God, and hope they have a good relationship with Christ, but to see it...it's just amazing. I would take seeing them overjoyed to sing worship songs, and really overflowing with joy over diamonds, trips, Target shopping spree...anything.

It was a great week. Then, I made the mistake of watching a video about how the oil spill is affecting sea life in front of the girls. They immediately said they were off to wipe oil off dolphins and save them. The concern in their voices and their eagerness to help was inspiring. Instead I had them write letters. They asked me how to spell words, and wrote, "I love dolphins. Get the oil off them now". Haha. No please, just NOW! They are so smart and determined, and it's amazing to see them grow into big girls.

Brianna is obsessed with her dolls, Ulla, in particular. She has to feed them, change them, everything around the clock. Her dolls' names are Ulla, Grulla and Walla. It cracks me up that she made up the strangest (creative?) names, and Mikayla's babies are Addison, Carissa, and Alex. Very fitting of their personalities. They both have such big imaginations and are constantly pretending. This age does get rough as far as whining. Though, knowing how I was with my parents I think this may only be the beginning :). Overall though, they are the sweetest, loving girls...and I'm so blessed to be able to be their Mom.
