Happy 4th Birthday Sofia and Mirabel

Oh my I can not believe how fast these two beautiful girls have grown up. I remember the day they were born, waiting for that phone call from Alan. To see Sofia and Mirabel today you would never think that they each weighed just over 3 pounds when they were born.

Mirabel


Each has had their own struggles but seem to be such happy little girls. So for their special day I will give 8 reasons why I love these girls.

1. Their beautiful voices. They love to sing.

2. Their blue eyes behind their cute glasses.

3. Their imagination, which is very extravagant. My favorite story was they were pregnant and traveling to Africa but not by plane because they did not like to fly.

4. Their hugs and kisses. When they were visiting over the summer every night before bed they would find me and anyone at home to say goodnight to.

5. Their laughs which are very contagious and make me smile.

6. The love they have for each other. Sometimes Sofia likes to be a bully but she has a heart of gold for her sister as does Mirabel and each would do anything for the other.

7. The knowledge they have gained so far. Yes I know they are only 4 but they are very smart. Living back in Washington DC, Meredith has taught the girls about all of the historical places. They are great tour guides during our visits.

8. Their fascination with pink and anything girly. They are not just a princess but a queen.

Today we celebrate the day Heavenly Father sent Sofia and Mirabel to our family and are continual grateful for their sweet spirits and the joy they fill us with.

Thank you Alisa! We LOVE you and loved reading about ourselves--and seeing the pictures. We had to ask mom who was who in the pictures of us as babies. We hope we can see you soon!

Alisa I had a vacation just looking at your web site...it was great...what a fun experience, I got a little nervous as you stood on slick wet arches and rocks viewing the world and was glad to see the journey move on from one monument to another... Where are we going Next?
How can a pair of glasses make the girls look so cute...I can see the personality in their pose, makes you want to give them a big squeeze. Keep smiling, it's addictive and that's a good thing to be addicted to. We Love you and all the family there.
