For days I have been wondering what moment or event would be best to start my blog with. As the days, and perhaps weeks now have passed, I realize that there have been so many "blog-opportunities" and that I have been rather timid about committing myself to another task. But as the events pass me by I feel some loss of not writing it down while it is still fresh and vivid with emotion. So tonight is my first blog....
Anyone who has seen my two beautiful daughters knows that they are complete opposites.... the older looks like her Swedish father and the youngest looks like her Indian mother. One fair-skinned, blonde, green eyes; one tan, brown hair and eyes.
So tonight after dinner, Syd came running out of the playroom with some of her Little People. As I washed dishes she looked up at me from the dining table and said "Mommy, this is like me and this is like Maleah." In her hands were two Little People girls, who proceeded to play together peacefully under the imagination of my 2 year old. If only my Little Girls could play together that peacefully!Here are my Little Girls, the little one topsy-turvy!
But the best moment today was over-hearing my 2 year old talk to my 15 month old in the backseat of the car. Upon her request, I handed Sydney a piece of "junk mail" after just checking the mailbox. While pulling into the driveway I heard her reciting "And God's crowning creation He saved for the end... yes Tiny Bear, He's your best friend!" That junk mail I unconsciously handed her was an envelope from The Salvation Army with a cross on the front. That is all she needed to see to " 'memba" one of her favorite bible stories!
