pursue this...

There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...  pursue those.

Polite...or not.

You will never regret behaving appropriately.

We've been reading the book, Polite Like A Princess, and working on our manners lately.  I think things are starting to sink in...a little.  A is really good about telling M when she is NOT being polite :)

Absolutely LOVE this one...

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

~Henry David Thoreau
And...don't wait too long before you pursue your dream...don't wait until after college, you land your first job, you get married, you buy your first home, your first child.  Don't wait until you lose weight, buy that bigger house or are done having children.  DO IT NOW.  There is no time like the present to start living your dream.

Impatience, I'm working on this one...

Shadows vs. Sunshine

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

White Beauty (for A)

etsy, Tailed Blue Photos

I titled this post after the photo I found for you, A.  You love horses, especially white ones right now.  You are kind and loving and a great big sister.  You are so smart and turning into quite the little artist.  You are also really getting into writing letters and words.  I can't believe I will have a kindergartener in the fall, but I know you are ready for the challenge.  I hope you always keep the positive image of yourself that you have now.

Love is All Around Us (for M)

M, you have such a happy and energetic presence.  You are a little lover, and you give great big squishy hugs.  You are gentle and kind and love animals, especially our dog, Blue.  You are a great little sister and adore your big sis.  I hope you keep your gentle nature as you move through life.
