mantha is absolutely beautiful! I can't get over it! I hope she has her lisp forever:) and her sweet spirit, of course! I miss all the girls terribly!
love your little sis,
holly
LOVE this post! How sweet is "still loves yellow but is gravitating to shades of pink". Oh my.
Oh..she is such a jewel. When we see her on camera..I cannot quit smiling. I love her singing..I love her gentleness..and I LOVE THE WAY SHE TALKS. We all do!
When we call, everyone wants to just watch her talk and sing. I'm always a little overwhelmed when she sings 2 or 3 verses of Holy, Holy, Holy or Fairest Lord Jesus. All I can say is..my thoughts are just like Holly's...WE MISS THE GIRLS TERRIBLY!! Thank you for feauturing these darling girls.
We love you, Rach!
P.S. Can you just start recording the prayers..for your book??? One of those pull me out of a slump every time!!
I would like to think Samantha is like me...in many ways. Although, I have FAR from perfect hair, I'm not the best sharer.. especially when it comes to food and I don't have a lisp but do rep a mean stutter. We are alike in so many ways though. I am incredibly too tender hearted, cry more than necessary, still ride bikes or roller blades as fast as possible, eat little chocolate, still am matter of fact when I get in trouble, have crazy sensitive skin with many rashes that randomly come and go and while she makes up songs.. I make up the BEST jokes.
She is a mini me in my eyes and I love it. I can't wait to see what Abbs will be like.
love you all :)
I had to wait until tonight to get my "eggroll fix"
I love your features on each of the girls....how wonderful!
You have family in GA that love you all much!

She IS adorable - wow that hair! Ali is almost 3 and her hair isn't nearly that long. But they sound a lot alike in personality! Adorable!
