sisters.
you know how some girls dream of having a little girl of their own someday? a little girl to dress up, have tea parties with, go shopping with, and do all manner of girly things with? that was never me. before having kids, i’d always somehow thought that if God blessed us with kids, i’d have all boys and i was fine with that. i saw myself as the total boy mom and didn’t think i’d miss out if i didn’t have a girl.
don’t get me wrong- it’s not because i didn’t like girls, or the thought of having one. i just honestly felt somehow impaired and wasn’t altogether sure i could raise a girl without totally messing her up. and sometimes i still struggle with that, even now.
but the good Lord saw fit to not only give me one little girl, but TWO…
one of whom is the epitome of girlyness– sensitive, emotional, and wears only dresses or skirts. can you guess who?
but God, who makes no mistakes, sure knew what He was doing cuz He knew these two needed each other.
as well as knowing what a blessing it would be for me to see these two grow as sisters…
and friends.
to be there for each other no matter what lies ahead.
and in that, i am blessed indeed.

sniff, sniff…that was the best pre-mother's day post. Love that last picture. I'm sorry that one-who-will-not-be-named totally didn't prepare you for girls. You are a great mom to girls…just look at your princess post.
You are right about God, He knew best. He made you a mommy to sweet girls, and one awesome boy. *HUGS*
