Bragabout Friday

I can't remember the last time I posted a "Bragabout Friday" blog, and since I'm in the mood to do a little bragging on Paige and Taylor tonight, I figured why not. The twins are growing up so fast (right before our very eyes) and somedays I can't believe what truly wonderful little girls they are becoming. Today, we spent some time sitting at the dining room table painting - painting a child-sized porcelain china tea set. I snapped a couple of pictures along the way just to capture the memories of our moments painting together, but what I really enjoyed far more than painting with the twins was just sitting back and observing Paige and Taylor. How they sat side by side, so quietly, in a state of deep concentration as they painted together. How they would gently dip their brush in and out of the various paint colors and then carefully stroke their china tea pot, cups, plates with their brushes. How they focused on their painting and afterwards, how they beamed with pride at their artistic creations. I could go on and on about how simple moments like this can make me marvel at Paige and Taylor, can make me appreciate their little lives so much, can make me so happy to be their mom and can make me just want to brag about them all the time...
