Some reasons I'm proud of these girls.

Look at these gorgeous pictures our friend, Zach Jacobs, took of Sharon. He's such a good photographer (I'm impressed).
Okay...I feel like every now and again I need to reflect on the good qualities my children possess. It's easy for me to focus on the few things that drive me crazy so this will help...
1. They have survived their mother's pregnancy sickness and tiredness with flying colors. I can't tell you how many times Katie has been willing to just play quietly while I take a much needed nap;)
2. They try so hard to be kind to one another. Today we were at Applebees and Katie asked Sharon if she could have some of her grilled cheese sandwich because she had finished hers. At first Sharon said "no" but then she decided to share and gave Katie some;)
3. They are both eating so much more fruit. When I'm pregnant (probably because I'm otherwise such an unhealthy eater) I crave fruit. Well it's paid off because Sharon now eats more than just one fruit (apples). She eats bananas and watermelon and tangerines. Katie eats almost every kind of fruit and loves it like Mangos and Rasberrys.
4. Katie's trying hard to read and Sharon has learnt all her colors and how to count to 10:) They both LOVE reading books with Dan and I.
5. They make us laugh. Sharon repeats everything we say and never misses anything. My dad came to visit this week and he asked her "are you still speaking babbagalore my baby Sharon?" She said "no I'm not speaking babbagalore!"
Katie says the funiest things all the time.
