"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
What? You didn't expect pictures?
Here's Ms. Abby, now nine months old. She's a veritable leprechaun. Just non stop mischief when she's not being naturally curious and very physical. I'm thinking we have an athlete in the making here.
What pure delight!
And, here's Ms. Mackie - now "five and three quarters" years old.
And, a Princess. Of course.
She couldn't be more completely opposite in temperament from her sister. She's as bright as you please and very much into make-believe and let's pretend. What a joy to watch her imagination and creativity! How even more wonderful to be invited to participate in it with her!
Can you tell we had a FABULOUS weekend?

Nice frock!
ReplyDeleteThe Grayson Perry look is so in this year.
I'm so glad you're back from vacation, Maddy, I'm even going to inhibit myself from asking what a nice hetro man like you knows from the Grayson Perry look, much less how you know what is "so in year."
ReplyDeleteAren't grand kids the best? I like the frock too, and I am a hetro guy too. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy elder grandbaby is now 3, and she is 40 inches tall! She is well on her way to being a 6' tall young lady.
Jamie is the lead photo on my blog this week. She adopted the "virgin Mary" fashion with a blanket I crocheted for her. Hmmm... Another item that makes some of us hetro males suspect?
FWIW

Elizabeth, yes, I can tell you had a fabulous weekend. Adorable girls!
ReplyDeleteNo, Jim, not all hetero males. Just Maddy.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Jamie is a beauty.
Grandbabies are the BEST.
Simply GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteMackie reminds me so much of my Jenna. Jenna knows the power of the princess dress, too.
Of course, she often belches while wearing hers, which creates a terrible dissonance. I'm sure your little princess doesn't do that sort of thing!
