Yeah, yeah. This is my typical "I can't believe it's been X number of months since I posted!" post. But really--I have just had so much else going on, blogging hasn't been a priority at all.
Emily turns 3 tomorrow.
Sydney will be 18 months just a week later.
Aaand... I found this super cute video of Sydney from a couple weeks ago. I was desperate to get out of the house, and needed to run to the post office. I decided to run to the one by the mall, and stop in for a bit of library-ing, pet store-ing and some unplanned frozen yogurt-ing. Our mall is awesome.
We went through a bit of a rough patch, Emily and I. She is very strong-willed, and she went through a particularly defiant phase, and I must admit I went through a particularly impatient phase. It was a rough, ROUGH time. It was one of those situations where I knew I couldn't do it myself. I prayed for patience, because deep down I knew I was most of the problem. Things didn't improve right away, and I don't know if she became less defiant, or if I got a crazy patience boost (most likely a little of both), but things have been so much better. Not perfect, obviously. It's life, and it never will be perfect, but at least we're not butting heads ALL. DAY. LONG.
On another note--here are my adorable girls.
Not the greatest quality. I haven't edited my good ones yet...
Here's just a liiiittle bit of that defiance I mentioned... ;)
Alas. My bedtime has arrived. No more updates for now.
I have posted.

LOVE IT!! The video especially made me smile b/c it reminded me of you when you were that age. AND it took interpretive dance to a whole new level!
love their costumes! good to hear about that defiant stage - we are still in it. haha! 3 year olds! I think you're right about the patience thing...ever working on it... :)
LOVE love love love love. Your girls ARE adorable! Isn't it crazy--you hear so much about the "terrible twos" but the THREES have beat them hands down for me! Holy guacamole. I'm glad things are calming down!
