Makes Me Smile

Today Christina needed help with something so I helped her. She then turned to Maria and said, "Maria, we are just so lucky to have our mommy."

If only she knew how it was the other way around.

We had a busy day. A super fun birthday party at Build-a-Bear where Christina made "Snowflake" the reindeer, to which she renamed him "Blitzen" in the car. The outfit she chose (Out of a zillion) was a set of doctors scrubs. Tendencies?? Anyone??

Speaking of that... Maria has taken to saying "Anyone?? Anyone??". She has such a sense of humor and brilliant timing, just like Christina. She also is our runner. It must be the extra calf muscle she inherited from Joe. At the birthday party I asked her to do something and she did so. A mom was shocked and said, "What a good listener! She's almost 2??". Indeed, tis true. She and her sister are just always really obedient and awesome.

So my sweet Christina, it is the other way around. Mommy is the lucky and very blessed one to have such wonderful little girls!!

Also, Jody starred in the hometown parade today as his glorious and good looking self. The man knows everyone. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E. He is the next Obama.
