I have a couple of little turds on my hands. These girls are getting smarter and smarter everyday. Just watching those little brains work is so gratifying. Little people are truly amazing. I have always heard that children are like sponges, they will soak up everything. I think that is an understatement. It is almost like a switch has been turned on and all of these lights are going off in their little brains. Not to mention those little personalities just blooming with every action they take and breath they breathe. Speaking of personalities, they are going in the OPPOSITE direction. I am sure of it and there is no denying it.

Richard and I work for the same company and we had a work lake weekend. The girls went with us and stole the show. They were just angels and everyone loved playing with them. Brooklyn came so far out of her little shell. She woke up Saturday morning with smiles on her face. It was extremely abnormal. She is one of those "NOT BEFORE MY MORNING COFFEE" girls! She is usually a little moody. Doesn't want anyone really messing with her. While her other half, wakes up with the biggest grin on her face and just can't seem to wipe it away. Quinn is so happy to see everyone in the morning. OPPOSITES! But Brooklyn was just a social butterfly all weekend. I am not complaining but she just opened up and seemed to not mind that we were all there. She smiled more than usual (with strangers) and laughed at everyone. She totally made me out to be the liar. I told them good luck getting a smile from that heifer. Her sense of humor is stone cold. Well, she showed me up. Guess that is a first of many more to come. A young guy I work with has expressed that he would only want boys when he has children. On Friday night, he watched the girls and their interaction and at dinner he told me that he thinks he would rather have girls instead of boys now. Those two little princesses melted his heart. He said he thinks he wants to have a Daddy's little girl. Yep, Q and B are so sweet and special, they made him change his thoughts on having little girls. His thoughts just tugged at my heartstrings a bit. They impacted him in such a way that he wants girls instead of boys now.

I always imagined that these little girls will impact the world. God made them strong enough to survive the odds against them. I know it may not seem world changing but they impacted one person right before my eyes. People still tell me how amazed they are with these little girls. I hope one day they will know that people we have never met or will ever meet, prayed for them and still pray for them. Just their story has made an impact. I know their pictures are being passed around to those we don't even know, to those that have prayed and continue to keep tabs on the little miracles. I just hope one day they know how special they truly are to everyone, known and unknown.
