Happy Mother's Day

It's pretty rare to get a picture with both girls looking good, let alone Mommy too.  Now if only Daddy wasn't behind the camera but standing with us as well.  Oh well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad.  :)  I love this picture and how it's just so "them".  Amelia is close but not too close (I'm pretty sure she's holding my hand) and looking a bit mischevious.  And Penelope is snuggled right up to me, sucking her thumb. 

I love these two girls more than I ever thought I could love anyone or anything.  And on this Mother's Day, I have been reflecting all day on just how lucky I am to be their Mommy.  It's been quite a ride over the past 18 months (or 26 if you count the months carrying them too!) and each day with my girlies just gets better.  Sure, we have rough days and times that definitely wouldn't win me a "Mom of the Year" award but that doesn't mean the love doesn't grow a little more each and every day.  I kiss them "good night" every night thinking I couldn't possibly love them any more, that my heart just can't hold any more love.  But I do.  And it does.  Amazing...this motherhood thing...
