Impromtu

I love dressing my little girls up for church (well, everyday...since skirts aren't just for Sundays at this house....they are for everyday). I especially love it when they match...so I try and match them as much as possible. These are the fantastic dresses Aunt Lisa bought for the Court of Honor and 4th of July. You can bet that they'll be wearing these dresses lots...I love them so.

My best bet for good pictures of my girlies is Sunday morning...Bella's hair is tamed, Aube's face is clean ;). This past Sunday was no exception....so I took the opportunity to snap a few. We were a bit late to church and had to sit on the front row, but it was worth it. I love these pics....my camera lost a few more of them, unfortunately....which is absolutely annoying. And it's too bad you can tell Bella is saying "CHHHHHEEEESSSEEE" in each one. But I was so happy, because they both sat, they both were willing to actually SAY cheese...and just be their cute selves.

They were being so cooperative, it was amazing. I said "Ok, don't say cheese, just smile pretty like this...." and this is what I got:

I was expecting them to start whining at any minute, like they always do when I want to take pictures. But they were saving that for Sacrament meeting, it turned out ;). Bella fell asleep towards the end, and for a moment I got to hold her while she slept. This overwhelming feeling overcame me...pure happiness for that moment of holding my baby, who is so not a baby anymore. I had a thought that was more than a thought, more than a feeling...of more spirits we will welcome into our family. And that moment of happiness was expanded into my soul. It may be now, it may be later, I do not know since I am not in charge (I have to remember that). Here's me crossing fingers, though.
