I guess none of these really surprised me, but I actually kept the girls separate when I asked them, just so I could hear their earnest responses. They get lumped together a lot: the girls. Like they are one little entity; however, they are very distinct little people. It's easy to get caught up during the school year with the work that seems to surmount around me, and I adore the summer for the very reason I get to stop and just be Reagan and Anna's mommy. My house becomes a place we live and have fun instead of where we throw our stuff down, eat and sleep. I LOVE my job and know I'm not cut out to do this 12 months a year, but I do love the two months when this becomes my life. I hear all the time about how fast kids grow, and while that's true, there's something magical about each age. A few summers ago I spent my time tracking feedings and poopy diapers and I DO NOT miss that at all. This age is much more fun. I love that Anna only wants to be her sister, Reagan loves visiting Gramma and Grandpa's house "in the country," and that both girls seem to have an affinity for red headed little boys. All these answers will probably change by the end of the summer, but I'm enjoying looking for the sparkles in the heavens and maybe a couple less trips to the mailbox (summer budget, you know!).
