So I'm sitting here right now listening to the girls. In about 45 minutes I'll be getting them ready for bed, but for now they are playing very well together and I'm not letting on that I'm listening to them because they are being so cute. They are playing doctor/dentist..something along those lines. Cassie is asking her patient to open his mouth.
Cassie: "Oohh look at those teeth. No wonder he's here to see us Kalli."
Kalli: "ooohhhh"
Cassie: "He won't miss his appointment again."
Kalli: "Nooo"

Now Cassie is talking into the baby monitor like it is a PA system. "Mr Noah, Mr Noah" then saying to Kalli..."he isn't listening." Kalli just soaks this all up and plays along. I'm not sure if she understands exactly what they are doing/playing, but she does what Cassie asks like getting bandaids (Kalli gives Cassie a bicycle bell)

It is moments like this that I realize how much I love the ages that they are at. They are so precious and innocent. I'd love to pause things at this age and be like this forever, but I also want to see how they will be in a couple of years. I'm so in love with the both of them...yet I feel like it is times like this that I fall deeper in love with them. If that is even possible.

It is later now, hense the above line.
I just finished watching Barbara Walter's interview with Terri Irwin (the crocodile hunter's widow) I kept tearing up as Terri was sharing things and talking about Steve. I seriously can not imagine what I would do if anything ever happened to Andy or one of the girls. And I don't want to try. Just thinking about it makes it hard to breathe.

I never thought that I'd love anyone like I do Andy and the girls. It is a love that is so encompassing and overwhelming. I'm so happy to be lucky enough to feel this way.
