My Girls

Recently I found these adorable BFF necklaces for sisters and bought them for the girls. Growing up I had a few best friends come and go in my life. Sometimes you just go down different paths and eventually find someone else along your path of life that can love you that way and you them, hoping it will last! My oldest brother once told me when I was bout 14 and going through some really hard times with some of the gals at school (mean girls and social games that I obviously never got or really cared for) that "You will be lucky to find even ONE true friend in your life!" He was so right. There are a lot of great people out there, but there really aren't too many that will stick through all the weathers of life with you and maintain a lifelong firendship whether you live by eachother or not. I am lucky to have a few more than one in my life, but what he said really stuck. I have also learned through the years that my hubby, Dad, brothers, sister and children are my truest of friends! With out them life would be much harder to bare and they have stuck by me all these years!

My girls put a smile on my face and amaze me with their great capacity to love all around them. It makes me realize I have so far to go in my love for others. These two are very close. Wherever Alyssa is Bria is close behind! She has been her shadow since she could crawl! There are nights we get onto them for staying up talking while they are SUPPOSED to be going to bed, but I remember doing that with my step-sister and we have some fond memories of our being up til 2 talking about boys or whatever was on our minds. Of course my girls better not be staying up til 2 until they are much older cause I don't want to have to put up with the major grumpies! :)


The next few are of the same picture. I have been trying to learn my camera a but more as well as my photoshop. I really liked this picture and can't decide which variation I like better or what I may need to do different next time. What do you think?

They are so sweet. I don't know what I'd do without my sisters!

I love the color version but the b&w is a close 2nd! Gorgeous photo of them!

I like the first one because their eyes are so pretty. The green grass look great too for these tired-of-winter eyes.

I am glad you got pictures of those darling necklaces. They look beautiful. I vote for the second one. I like the subtle looks.

Sisterhood is one of the most precious gifts!

I always wanted a sister (I have 4 brothers, and am not really close to any of them). I adopt 'sisters' (and family) where ever we go...
I hope my girls can see the value in the friendship of sisterhood as they grow and move on with their lives.

what sweet pic's. Don't know which one I like best... I like each of them for different aspects.
