Hip and Happy Babies

The little girl cousins have been reunited, and boy, oh boy, are they having fun together!

Today they got some cool hip new shirts... Mielle's has Yoda on it and has "SIZE MATTERS NOT" printed on it. Peever's is a Green Day shirt and has "KISS ME, I'M PUNK" on it.

While we were out shopping today, a woman asked if they were twins.... "Twins?" I thought, "are you crazy?"

But looking at photos, I can see the similarities in their faces and how close they are in size, even though Mielle is like 5 months older. And while they may not actually be sisters, they do sure love one another. They definitely light up at the sight of one another. When we pulled into the driveway here a few days ago, Mielle started asking for Peevers right away. She kept calling for her as we walked up to the house!

It saddens me to think that they will be actually moving away soon.... the little girls will go months without seeing one another. Mielle will stop asking for "Baabbbee EEve" and Peever's won't include "Baby Mel" in her first words.....

After spending as much time with my sister and her kids in the last few months as I have, it is hard to imagine not seeing them for months. Even while writing these words, I don't think I can even quite take it in.
