As of last month, I am the mother of two teenagers....How did that happen??? Where did the time go??
Looking back, I can see the babies that lit up when mommy walked into the room, the little girls that loved cuddling up with me as I read stories. The elementary school aged girls that loved to play board games, ride bikes, go to the park......
Now I see two strong, independent people. Very different people....one is very energetic and always on the move, involved in many activities. The other is more of a homebody, more artistic and very, very funny. One takes it as it comes and deals with it, the other wants things to be in it's place, wants to know the plan. Both are very loving, fun kids.
Don't get me wrong...they are teenagers! We have the dramatic scenes, the meltdowns, the differences of opinion as to whose turn it is to load the dishwasher, vacuum or clean the bathroom, but deep down in the core, they are great teenagers. Sometimes it is just a little deeper in the core than other times!
I feel very blessed to have such wonderful kids in my life. It is thanks to all the amazing people that we are lucky enough to be surrounded by. Love is all around us and I know my girls have the best foundation to go and make the most out of the life that they have.
