so...

Just as soon as I talk about how they are sassy & sometimes difficult, they go & do something like this the same day.

Monday night, Rachel was telling us how she is going to marry "my Owen" - her boyfriend from daycare for the past 2 years. She is in love with Owen. Talks about him all the time.

She says, "when I marry my Owen I am going to wear a beautiful dress. And I's going to have red flowers. And I's going to wear fancy shoes." Olivia says, "let's do it tonight!"

So we had a ceremony Monday night. Rachel married her Owen & he wasn't even there. Olivia was triple booked as the minister, bridesmaid, & wedding singer.

Rachel wore my veil from when I married their Daddy & Olivia's flower girl dress from this wedding. Amazing how it fits here just like it did Olivia. I had a little flash-back to when my little Liva Lou was not quite 4.

Olivia, didn't have any pants on, but was wearing my jacket.

My girls were getting along wonderfully. Best friends even. And my heart melted a little bit. I was quick to forget the sass from Sunday afternoon & evening.

See, I knew it was just a phase. It's not over, probably won't be for a looooong time. But for Monday night, it was the perfect night for our little family.
