Growing up is Always bittersweet

Our kid's portraits have been long overdue.  Finally, Brent found the time over Christmas Break.  Sydney's are still on his camera so they'll be coming soon.  But here are some of my favorites.

This girl will always choose a dress over pants.  She will always have holes in the knees of her leggings.  She always wants to snuggle and talk to me.  She is always getting her chores or homework done before anyone else has started.  She is always asking for friends.

This boy is always trying to go to school in whatever dirty clothes he slept in.  He is always playing with or snuggling with Tesa.  He is always ready to play soccer.  He is always the one to apologize first.  He is always avoiding schoolwork.  And those eyes still melt my heart every day.

This girl is always rolling her eyes.  She always says, "oh my gosh!".  She is always ready to perform (just ask her for a workout video).  She is always worried about getting enough downtime.  She is always wanting to hang out with friends.  She is always in her bedroom.  She always wears her hair in a top knot.  She is always looking prettier and more grown-up than the day before.
