I LOVE these girls!

In the car today, the song "Stealing Cinderella" came on and I actually listened to the words of the song (If you haven't heard it you can click on the link above). I looked in my rearview mirror at Ashlin and she gave me a huge smile and said, "Hi Mommy!" I started getting teary eyed and said, "Ashlin, how about you stay Mommy and Daddy's little girl forever." To which she promptly replied, "No, I'm a big girl and get a sticker and rice crispy treat!" (Potty Training). I love this girl!


Ashlin adores her little sister. This is the two girls just after waking up- Ashlin will drink her water with a lid so she can lay next to Rachel while she drinks her bottle. Rachel is a little wild child who is quite a bit more aggressive than Ashlin, and she will crawl all over Ashlin. Ash will start to complain and push Rach off and I will tell her "Aww Rachel is trying to give you a hug." Ashlin's face immediately changes from annoyed to happy and "hugs" Rachel right back annoying Rachel who then decides to leave her big sister alone.


I have to say how incredibly happy I am to be a mom to these two! They are so much fun to play with and sometimes even more fun to just sit back and watch them play. I know one day someone will steal our Cinderellas, but I guess I don't need to worry about that for a few years!

Those two girls are super cute. Here's to having two girls in a row, close in age. It's the best!

How cute! And I agree with the first comment on having 2 girls so close together. I wish we were closer so our girls could play together. And Hannah even has the same dress!!

The look so cute--I especially love the black and white dresses. Adorable! And I am so impressed with Ashlin's cute curly hair! Love it. I also have to admit that I love that song and it makes me get teary eyed too...along with several other Daddy-Daughter country songs currently on country radio (Cleaning this Gun, Ready Set Don't Go,...I'm sure there are more!)
