Seasons of Change

As each season changes, it always reminds me how much & how fast the girls are growing and changing.

I had to trim Audrey's hair the other day. It was getting very long and frazzled on the ends. I had been putting this off knowing it was the baby hair I was having to cut off...She wasn't excited about cutting it either, so I told her that she could throw her hair out to the birds after we cut it so they could put it in their nests to make them cozy. So that was neat to her.

Well, the Lord is neat like this...we found a fallen nest in the yard this week (which we are certain has her hair in it;) and she has been so proud examining her nest and showing it off to everyone. It is amazing all the knowledge and details she soaks in every day.
And what is just as amazing is seeing what Brenna Beth picks up from her sister daily...things that Audrey didn't know at 22 months.

Brenna's room has changed into a big girl's room. I try not to think about it too much to avoid tears...but after holding two sweet babies, the crib has been taken down, and the calming lavender-pink walls of a very special nursery are now cool green tones of a horsey-themed big girl room. (Ok, I did not avoid tears afterall...)

But alas, Brenna deserves a special room that is brand new, and she, of course, adores the horses on her bed. She has actually been sleeping in the big bed for weeks and has done perfectly. Isn't she a cute little big-girl on her bed...and a special keynote to her room is the rope horse she is holding. It belonged to my Granny who gave it to me when I was a kid :)

It is hard to believe that we have a very similar picture of Audrey at the same age in her new room just before Brenna's arrival...Wasn't that two months ago instead of two years!?

There are many more special touches planned for Brenna's room, too...Just wait and see!

And if you have learned the secret of slowing down the time and changing seasons, please let me know!
