Two little sisters sit in a doorway of love, they mirror each other like a reflection in a pond. Their smiles echo the love we have for them, their giggles bring a happy rhythm to our life. Their vocab is minimal but the words they use are special in every way, especially when they utter Nanna or Papa and want to play.
Every moment we spend with them is a gift to us. I love how they eat and how they sit looking at books when they should be fast asleep.
They are little ladies that sometimes don’t want to take off the their dress which they had picked out earlier in the day. Somehow they are persuaded to slip into their Pj’s, but first they must race and flex their muscles just like their daddy taught. It’s a special site to see both of them race up and down the bedroom hall, stop for a moment, and go into a muscle pose. Our Kewpie Dolls begin to tire and a good night book or books are in demand.
We plop ourselves on the floor while the girls take turns bringing books that need to be read before we can get a good night kiss and close the door.

While the girls nestle themselves on one of our laps, we begin to read the books from cover to cover. Finally the girls begin to somewhat tire and they are almost ready to give us a kiss, and say good night. It is time to awaken their woobies, so they can lovingly put them in their mouth. The time has come to say we love you and a kiss both good night. Isla’s crib on the right, and Morgan’s on the left are now ready to caress them for the night.
We close the door very slowly and steel one last look, this will warm our heart through any night.
