The summer flowers in our backyard and garden are blooming beautifully. It's amazing how much they've grown since we planted them just a few short months ago. Much in the same, our girls are growing and blossoming everyday.
Just this past week, they showed some signs of a little separation anxiety. The first time was when Aunt Mary came over to babysit for a few hours and the second time was when Aunt Jennifer and cousins, Kyle and Mitchell came to visit. Both times, daddy had already left to go to a business meeting so maybe that had something to do with it? Usually, the girls enjoy guests and have never cried when someone comes over. They will eventually need to learn the skills to cope on their own when mommy and daddy are away for a little while. It's up to us to teach them that everything will be OK and most importantly, that we will be back. I guess it's all a part of growing up. Other than that, the girls are doing great! We are feeling blessed and grateful that they've remained healthy. In fact, that we've all remained healthy! Other than a springtime cold shortly after they arrived home, our girls have not been sick at all. We think this is due to their healthy appetites, long sleep patterns, good initial care from their foster parents, the grace of God, and of course, the fact that they aren't in school yet. They are blossoming like little flower buds and it's such a joy to watch them grow.
On another note, I took the girls to Costco with me for the first time without Morgan. As I mentioned in the past, I can do that because Costco has those double-seated shopping carts, which the girls just love. They were quite the little entertainers while we were there. Not only did they have many admirers come over to talk to us, but I would catch them smiling, waving and saying hello to people. When I looked to see who they were waving at, it would inevitably be someone who was waving at them from afar. They were talking up a storm, smiling, pointing at things and being friendly little butterflies. Despite it being 110 outside, at least our trip was fun!
Happy Saturday!
