Five Year Photo Shoot (a little late) ~

Here they are --- my five year olds!!

Strong, healthy, caring and sweet.

Smart, similar, but very different from each other too.

Ella is very caring, very loving and very sensitive.  She is gentle and careful.  She is also extremely creative and artistic and can completely think outside of the box.  The art she comes up with blows me away, and watching her dance or get into character for a play she's putting on is always entertaining.  She has a social personality but can also be quiet and hesitant -- but if there is something she wants to try or do she will in a flash.  She cries quickly and easily and she laughs quickly and easily --- she lives with her whole body, experiences every experience and already makes the most of each day.  Her smile brightens up a room and her laugh makes me laugh.  I love every single part that makes up my Ella Marie......

Zoe is a silly, sweet, fun and funny little nut.  She is still reserved in initial situations but is growing in confidence, gets comfortable more quickly, and once she is comfortable, there's no stopping her.  She loves to play and has a very funny sense of humor.   She can be a complete goof-ball, her belly laugh makes me laugh (even when I just think about it) and her smiles make me smile.  Zoe is creative in many ways; she loves to color, draw, play pretend, dance and put on shows.  She can also be quite bossy and knows exactly how she wants things done.  She's good at giving clear directions and is lucky her sister is, for the most part, willing to accept directions.  I love every single part that makes up my Zoe Dianne .......

These two --- they really are the reason I was born.

They have been a gift since I first found out I was pregnant .....  and continue to make my world a brighter place.
