my sweet girls...

just a thought as I was observing cate tonight....since the minute she was born everyone has said she is my clone. she may look a lot like me and I may be able to read her mind, but she isn't my clone...she is an infinitely BETTER version of me. it's more accurate to say I'm a lot like cate and I aspire to be her one day.

on a related note, anna looked her up and down tonight and exclaimed, "Cate! You are looking so grown up! I like it!"

on an unrelated note, anna couldn't fall asleep tonight and burst into tears at one point because there was a picture in her head that she kept getting rid of but that kept coming back. the picture? a MEAN and SCARY....BUTTERFLY!

on a related note to the unrelated note, in the car anna overheard a comment about gun companies wanting to sell lots of guns. she asked, "real guns?" I said, "yes." she said, "why would they want real guns?" such wise innocence.

I love these girls. I am soooo lucky I get to be their mother.
