My Girls

Tonight I got to spend a few hours with just my two girls. It was the greatest gift Brian could have given me. Faith is in high school now and I am sure you all remember those days when your parent were just the people you asked money from or the people who provided food and shelter. I have been lucky because Faith and I have been very close for a long time now. Of course now we, meaning she, has a boyfriend and well that means mama takes a back burner. Well tonight she was grounded from the phone for not doing her dishes so therefore we had our time back, even if it was just for tonight. I can honestly say I have missed our girl talks and time together since she started high school and the boyfriend came along. I told her tonight she was grounded from the phone for at least one night a week from now on.....I will win my time back with authority....lol.
Then there is my precious bundle of joy Lena. She is emulating everything Faith does and says. She loves her sissy. Tonight if Faith was cleaning Lena was cleaning. If Sissy got a bath Lena was too. They were so precious. Lena is getting so big and I wish so much time would slow down. She is starting to move away from me some, which is good in some ways. Sometimes she will tell me, "No Mommy, Lena do it". I am so proud of her for doing things on her own, but part of me wants to grab her and hold on. There are moments when I rock her to sleep that I just sit there and hold her with the realization that in just a little while this will not be happening. In a blink of an eye she will be Faith's age and I am just not ready for that. Then again it will be nice to see my girls grown and living the life God has planned for them. Please pray for us cause we are trying to potty train this little one. She will go on the potty. but not all the time. However the little stinker can change her own pull up and will. Go figure! This should be an interesting challenge.....I will keep you posted on what I am sure will be a very interesting challenge.
