This One and That One

This one reads with great intonation.  She makes us proud.  She loves in tender moments interspersed throughout her busy day.  These days, she is a planner, a creator, and a leader.

This one makes friends easily everywhere she goes.  She makes us proud.  She loves by physical touch, climbing in laps after she finishes eating and climbing in beds in the middle of the night.  These days, she is a cuddler, a peace-maker, and a social butterfly.

This one changes daily, with more new words than I can keep track of.  She makes us proud.  She loves by fitting her face centered upon yours, tilting her head back and forth, and grinning with a winning gleam in her eyes.  These days, she is an explorer, a joker, and a rascal.

These two run.  And run.  And run.  Training for a half marathon in early March means a lot of commitment to a goal they set together, to personal health, and to perseverance.   And remarkably, they make the kiddos proud.  Driving past a lake the other day, Avery proudly told her friend, "My mom and dad run around that lake."
