Can we talk about my favorite girls?

There are two little girls who fill my heart with so much happiness and love and joy and nervousness that I feel like sometimes I can't breath.

Lucy who is now 8- how HOW did that happen.
Beautiful baby Delaney who is now almost 5 months- how HOW did that happen. 

While I am not a mother, I feel like I understand that love one must feel for little people that are actually their own. Maybe I don't but when I look at these two (and yes i feel that way when i look at Will and pretty much every other little person who refers to me as Aunt Pam...which that number keeps growing and growing) I can't image my heart handling making any more room for love.

I love watching these two little lovely ladies grow.  Lucy has now embraced the phrase, "You're embarrassing me." Pretty sure she loves it when I do...well maybe not loves it but I am sure the day when I stop hugging and kissing her in public will make her and me a bit sad.  But until we have a major fight in the middle of Target, I'll keep at it.

And baby Delaney...well she doesn't cry the minute I hold her so we are making progress. But dear lord...when and if I pray...i might ask that if i ever have a child to bless me with a baby as beautiful and sweet and perfect and squishy as this one.  She melts my heart in every way possible.  I only hope that someday she finds a best friend as wonderful as mine because I met mine in the 8th grade and she just happened to end up being this beautiful babe's Mommy.
