A Tale of Two Sisters

You know, they always say that your kids can be drastically different. I have been learning that over the past 18 months that Regan has been bounding around the house and everywhere and anywhere she can find to explore. But no matter how many stories I have already told about how different my two girls are, NOTHING tells the story like the water fountains in Florida...

Here are the two girls being introduced to the concept. Taytum had been here before, but it was just before she was walking, so this was her first real opportunity to run and romp through the water...

As you can see, however, Taytum was very apprehensive about the water and wasn't much for getting splashed...
Regan, on the other hand, was very interested in the water and wanted nothing more than to get soaking wet...

Taytum was content to run around the outside of the fountains or through the middle, as long as the water was not spouting up...

Regan was all about the water and loving every minute of it...

And in the end, the true tale of two sisters...

complete

bliss

and happiness

coupled with...

crying,

whining,

and grumping!

At the end of the day, no matter how different...

...we know they still love each other...

(as Regan screams, 'LET ME GO!!!')

...and we love (and celebrate) their differences!

# 7

The day Rob went and picked up the uniforms for Taytum's soccer team, he came home very excited! Their colors are red and black... as are the colors of his favorite EPL team... Manchester United. So we named Taytum's team the Red Devils, which is what Man U is called as well.

My excitement came, however, when I realized the bag Rob brought home contained a #7 jersey! #7 has always been my favorite and I wore it as often as I could growing up. Rob and I buttered Taytum up to the idea of wearing #7... you know, telling her how cool it is and about Christiano Renaldo and David Beckham and blah blah blah...

Well, now I've created a monster. Here are some things that come out of Taytum's mouth:

"Mom, can you fix me SEVEN chicken fries please?"

"Mom, do we need gas? Because I'm looking at the gas station and there's no one on pump number 7. So we could go and get gas and get it from pump number 7."

"I need SEVEN oreos, Mom."

...I wonder what will come next?

Ahhhh...Computer

Well, our computer is finally up and running and I am back to snapping pictures and organizing them as best as I can. Now, just to find the time to post!! So you'll see more pics coming, but I can't guarantee they are in order from before the computer was on the fritz!!
