I just noticed that I always add those three little dots after each new post title - I have no idea why I do that?! Anyway . . . I have a new blog under my blogger name now - http://www.sharptharpegirls.blogspot.com/
This is our new blog all about our daughters & their day to day lives. It's kind of a little summer fun we thought we'd have with them - they think they are so cool now. But for me it's a big step & here's why . . .
I have always been around kids. I started babysitting at a young age. I kept nursery at my church for years as a teenager & a young adult. I loved being around all those kids, I didn't, however, always like being around all those Moms. See, I learned early on the ugly character trait of pride and I saw this a lot in Mothers around me. They would constantly talk about their child, their achievements, their talents & abilities & I would think to myself, "Does this woman not realize that every Mother feels this way about their child?!" I had yet to meet a Mother who wasn't captivated & delighted by her child. I told myself then that I would not be 'that' Mother. Fast forward to the early hours of October 4, 2004 when into the world came Sophie Eleanor and Ella Faye. I wanted to shout from the rooftops of the joy, happiness & love that these two little beings had brought with them, but I didn't. I stayed reserved. Calm even. { I should note here that I do not think I'm perfect in this area; My judgement is just as ugly as pride} When we would go into public then {and now} other people would make a big deal about Sophie & Ella. I never had too. Now, though, as my girls are getting older I am realizing their deep need for my praise publicly. {I have always, always praised them!} They want to know that I am proud of them. They need to know that I am proud of them. And so came . . . the sharpetharpegirls. Here, it will be all about Sophie & Ella. Their days. Their likes. Their dislikes. Their drawings & artwork. Their incredible academic achievements. How great they are & how much better they are then your kid. Ok, I'm totally joking on that one. Well a little. Bottom line, it will be a total gloat fest & you are more than welcome to follow along.
Sophie & Ella - I thank God everyday that He chose me to be your Mom. You have turned into little women right in front of our eyes. I can't wait to see what is in store for you . . . .
{ Their blog is private. (The internet is a scary place, people!) And since I did warn you it might be overly cheesy, you don't have to read it unless you want to - you just have to send me an email for me to add your name to our list. }
