Favorite Photo(s) Friday

I love to watch these two beautiful girls together. They are friends, they are cousins, they are "sisters" of the heart. The love that they have for each other is a blessing to us all. And could they be any cuter??? I think not.























In other news: Lily and I went out yesterday and bought her "weeotawd" for dance class. We went into the dressing room for her to try it on and she immediately began spinning around. To say she loves it would be a huge understatement. (She kissed her reflection in the mirror TWICE.) We have also been discussing the fact that she will go into her dance class WITHOUT me, just like she does for church. She has reassured me that she will not "bwy"(cry) because mom always comes back..."we a famiwee fo-eva"! Oh yeah, that's another thing. She is now calling me MOM, instead of momma or mommy. I hate it. MOM. What, is she 13 all of a sudden? Ugh.

Oh, that is so cute! And I totally get what you mean. I hated it when they started calling me just plain "Mom." No "Mommy", no "Mama", just "Mom". Waaay too grown up. Sigh.

Great pics of the cousins together. My kids ADORE their cousins!

Familiy forever how sweet...

Very cute......sometimes Sophia says Mom too, but not all the time. Our babies are growing up!

Lynn said...

Too funny... Chris will always refer to me as "my mom" yet when he addresses me it is still always mama... I love it! I will savor it until it ends...

Kim said...

Cute girls! That last paragraph made me laugh out loud here at my desk. :)

You will always be her mommy...especially when she needs money for the mall.

I was going to comment on how adorable they are (which they are) but I find myself chuckling (and now sort of totally laughing) at your last annoyance: What? Is she suddenly 13 now? Come on Mom. Mom is good. Mom is ALWAYS good. :O)

They are darling... and your baby girl is so sweet... I just love hearing her talk through her "Mommy's" blog... They grow up so fast.... It touched my heart about the "families forever" how precious......

Laura Nipper said...

Lily is so cute and spunky. They grow up way to fast.

Pictures are too cute for words. I love how they are hugging on one another.

Lily's Pad said...

I love the pictures. You sure captured the joy of their friendship. Our Lily just got done with a ballet/tap dance class and is now taking a gymnastic/dance all alone (for the first time). We watch them on a tv monitor. I swear they do better without the parents around:) I'll be curious to see what your experience is.

C's Mom said...

I am looking forward to seeing her put that weeotard to use!

Laughing to myself as I remember Jennifer first calling me Mom.
Once again you have beautifully took me down memory lane.:)
I love your posts.

Gwen Oatsvall said...

great pictures ... i have to say that when emily puts her hands on her hips she calls me "mom" ... don't like it ....

Anne Marie said...

Oh no, it would be so hard to be called Mom when she is still sooo little. Awww....

I learn so much from you about parenting, both from the standpoint of parenting any child and an adopted child. Obviously you have done such a wonderful job of making Lily feel safe in her forever family and making sure she not only understands, but BELIEVES in her heart, that you will ALWAYS come back.

Holly said...

Love the pics. They are adorable!

Anonymous said...

Does this mean Lily will start calling me "gram" instead of "gramma"?

I want to come to watch her dance!

Daniella said...

2 cuties and I can't wait to see some dance pics. Love the mom story - I remember when mama stopped - I cried.

insanemommy said...

I visit for the dialogue. You do a great running commentary of what Lilly says.
Oh and the photos aren't half bad either. WAY cute.
