So, these are my beautiful girls. For this blogs sake, we will call them Kate, Grace and Rose. Many of you know them, but some of you don't. I just wanted to introduce them to all of you because this is my blog and they are the BIGGEST part of my life. Kate is 14. Grace is 6 and Rose is 4. I consider them all to be my babies. I wish more than anything I could bottle them up and keep their voices, giggles, smells and sweetness and keep it all forever. It's bittersweet really, they grow which is great, but also sad all at the same time. I honestly want them to stay where they are FOREVER. I love being their mommy even on the worst of days and through the worst of tantrums. They are the main reason I get up every day and try my hardest. Kate...the oldest is a bit introverted and outgoing all at the same time. She is very sweet and she aims to please everyone. She is strong in her faith and her convictions. She is a great student when she applies herself. She is known to be a little lazy when it comes to her chores and schoolwork. She is very good at writing and that makes me so proud. I am certain she has a long road of success in front of her though. She loves reading, comic books, music, painting and drawing. She started high school this year and I must admit I am not ready for it. I have concluded that I must give her more freedom and help her grow in independence. As our first and only child for seven years, we did everything for her. She was our sole focus. It was a huge benefit to her and downfall to her too. I have lightened my grip on the leash and I have decided that I have to do her a favor by treating her like a teenager and not a seven year old. She now walks to school every day and she just went to her first high school football game this Friday night and loved it! Nobody, but her friends went with her. What?! People who know me know that is unheard of. She is a great big sister and I think God knew what He was doing when He gave her to us first.
Next, is Grace...she is SIX! This little girl is a mess. She came out of the womb claiming what she wanted and demanding attention. She will not settle for anything, but perfection. I joke and tell everyone that she was born with heels on, a tutu, a boa, diamond earrings and a tiarra! No, but seriously. She is the biggest diva and she believes she is Queen B. She wants what she wants and will find a way to get it. She does melt my heart. She has a strong sense of fashion and will stand as I do my makeup watching me intently. She loves, loves and loves EVERYONE! She is a nurturer and a lover. She will kiss you all day, rub your feet, scratch your back and even tend to those who are sad or hurt. From the time she was little, she loved dress-up and sparkle! The bolder and brighter something is, the better. For her it is go big or go home! She is known for some quite dramatic temper tantrums and so we are learning how to deal with this. However, she is one of the sweetest and most loving kids I have ever known and I have known many kids throughout my life. She is determined and I think she will be a HUGE success in life also. If I ever needed it, I know this little girl would take care of me.
Finally, is Rose. She is four and she won't stop growing. If you have ever seen the movie, Family Man with Nicholas Cage...she talks just like the little girl in the movie. It is so precious...how can I correct her words? She is my little firecracker. She is the sassiest of all of my girls. I do not know how she surpassed Grace in sass! She's up for just about anything and doesn't sweat the small stuff too much. She is my little love bug and cuddler. She loves baby dolls. Baby dolls are her most favorite thing in the world along with Mickey Mouse. The more baby dolls she has, the better. She really looks up to her sisters and I would say her and Grace are best friends and will probably remain so throughout life since they are so close in age. They play well together most of the time. In her dads eyes, she can do no wrong. She is his sweet baby! She is slowly beginning to pick up on the desire for tiara's, jewelry, lipstick, pocket books and heels. She has completed my family. She was the missing piece to our puzzle and I could not be any more happy that she is mine. She is still figuring herself out. We are trying to figure her out too...I am sure that will happen in time.
Thanks for letting me share with you about my girls...my joys...my completeness. Now, when I mention them in these blogs, you will know who I am talking about.
