Twins become Teens

Honestly, there was a time that I didn't think the twins would make it to 13 years old. Then there was the time that I didn't think I would make it to the twins 13. However, we have all survived and these adorable, wonderful girls have made it to the teen years. So, to honor them, I now present:

THIRTEEN THINGS I LOVE ABOUT ADRI

1.  A feisty personality. That girl will stand her ground.
2.  She covers her mouth when she can't control an enormous smile.
3.  Giggle girl. Once she starts, she keeps going.
4.  Fashionista. She needs rich parents that take her shopping at least weekly.
5.  Long flowing BLONDE hair. Pretty jealous!
6.  Reaching great heights. She is 5' 7" now and growing like a weed. (She has now passed me and she's only 13.)
7.  Doesn't hide her feelings. You know where you stand with her.
8.  Good friend. Her friends trust her like crazy.
9. Is comfortable in a disaster - her messy room doesn't bug her a bit.
10. Loves softball and volleyball - my two favorite sports. I'm a very willing and eager spectator.
11. She has a creative eye for photography.
12. Hilarious!!! She makes for good laughs - whether she's trying or not.
13. The only girly-girl in this house. I love that!

KATY'S GREAT THIRTEEN

Katy - taken by Adri

1.  Funny, funny, funny!
2.  She is her own person. She is going to dress how she wants, look how she wants, and do what she wants. It is a total waste of your time to dry to convince her otherwise.
3.  Very kind to others.
4.  Great babysitter.
5.  Avid reader. She used to hate it because it was difficult. Not anymore!
6. She has beautiful handwriting.
7.  Gives her mom and dad a hug and kiss every night and then says, "Goodnight. I love you!"
8.  Loves to watch infomercials with me.
9.  She is artsy and crafty.
10.  Has a beautiful, heart warming smile.
11.  Willing to play with the little girls that live next door. (They are 6 and 4.)
12.  Always trying to make right choices.
13.  Never takes a bad picture. She always looks great. (I'm jealous.)

Life is Good.
