Like most babies, Everley just loathes tummy time. But, it's good for her so I'll do it. A little bit. Not the ridiculous 30 minutes a day her doctor recommends. That's just impossible. Not that she couldn't do it, it's that I can't stand to see her so upset. So, we'll do it. A little bit. She's just so pretty. Yummy Little Sunflower. :)

I loved growing up with a sister, and I miss my big sister, Melissa, terribly. Especially when I think of how much she would have ADORED my children, and how they would have adored her. In my daydreams when I was growing up, when I pictured what I wanted my life to be, it was this... A handsome and loving husband, a sweet son, and 2 little girls. God has so blessed me with a life I always dreamed of. Although after my sister passed (even though I still really wanted to have 2 girls) I was concerned that having 2 daughters would be too emotionally painful for me. Specifically because I thought it would actually cause me pain to watch the bickering and sibling rivalry that inevitably comes with sisters. I now realize that the joys will far outweigh the difficulties. And of course God knew it would be good, and gifted us with these 2 beautiful girls to love. I wouldn't change anything for the world. I have delighted in watching my 2 girls bond with each other. I am imagining they'll have an unbreakable connection and amazing friendship that will last their whole lives. I love watching Avery take care of her baby sister, she is so caring and such a natural. Watching her "read" books to Everley warms this Momma's heart I couldn't be more thankful, and can't wait to watch them grow up together!
