Growing

For years we have wanted a growth chart, and after much searching we were thrilled to come across this gorgeous one created by Phoebe Wahl. A growth chart with fairies, gnomes, butterflies. flowers and birds is one that we could not pass up! We gave it to the girls at Christmas and quickly found the perfect spot for it, where it has hung (unblemished) ever since. This past Saturday, after our weekend chores were completed, I finally took a moment to chart the girls heights from their first birthday onward. It was incredible to see their heights on the chart, and to see how much they grew from year to year. The girls got such a kick out of seeing how tall they were on their first birthday all the way up to how tall they are now (and how they really don't have all that much more to grow before they are the same height as me)! xo

Growing Up

Last weekend the girls came to us to let us know that they were ready for a little bit of a change in their room.  Turns out that they wanted just a wee bit of room between their beds.  And so we headed up to that lovely space of theirs (which is easily one of my most favorite rooms in our house) to see what kind of rearranging we could do   After a few combinations that didn't quite work they decided on the configuration you see above.  It allowed them to have the bit of space that they had requested, but also allowed them to still be close enough to each other that they could reach out and touch each other too.  For two little girls who have pretty much always slept together this was huge.  We were surprised as this was so not on our radar, and one of us (who shall remain nameless) was a wee bit choked up upon tucking those sweet girls in that night.  I can't even imagine what it would do to me should the day ever come where they each want their own room!  Time surely has flown by and if truth be known I really would be happy if it slowed down just a little.  Since that is clearly not going to be happening I will continue to bask in the amazingness of these two sweet girls (for which it is truly an honor to be their mama), their wonderful papa and the life we have all made together.
