My Two Joys

It continues to amaze me how God gave me these two wonderful, yet different, little girls. There are some ways they are similiar: they are both sweet, happy, helpful, loving, and affectionate. Here are my favorite different things about each of them:

Hannah: She is my blonde haired blue eyed one. She looks like a lot like Rob but has a very simliar personality to myself. She makes friends easily. She shows deep concern and empathy for those around her. She is sensitive and determined. She is talkative and quick to praise others. She thinks through situations and makes careful conlusions. When it comes to academics, she learns new things quickly and easily. She studies the world around her, articulates her thoughts well, and is endlessly inquisitive. She follows rules and directions. She is sincere.

Hailey: She is my brown haired hazeled eyed one. She has many of my features but she is very much a mesh of both Rob and I in looks and personality. She loves laughing. She plays and shares well with others. She charges head-first into situations, showing no fear. She is adventurous and tries everything. She is silly and loyal. She can be fiercely independent. She offers comfort to those that are sad. She excels at all things physical and masters them with little effort. She understands well, listens intently, and finds joy in the world around her. She loves to show others the things she enjoys.

I always thought I wanted kids to be a certain way but now I just see all these wonderful things about each of them - wonderful in ways I never imagined. Funny how they can be so different and I can love them both so completely. ☺
