Country girls

First of all, I would like to say that my sister's talents are seemingly never ending. I was downloading pictures last week and I came across these lovelies that Natalie took. Claire and Elaina are either at each other's throats or happy as can be. I truly believe that they, along with Andrew, would be thrilled to live out in the country with lots of dirt, animals, water, and room to run. Me, not so much.


Here they are sitting in the dirt on the backside of our house looking at the flowers on the bush. Claire's nose is running, but that is part of the authenticity of the pictures. This is how they really are - they aren't clean, neat little girls.

Seriously - when did she get so big? She looks sooooo old to me in this picture.

Who knew flowers could be so much fun? Here they are on the side of the house hanging out like the best of friends (or best of cousins?). Elaina's scrunched up smile cracks me up.

I love her, I love her not, I love her.....

I guess we know who the daredevil is. There are no pictures of Claire doing this. I look forward to the summer when they can spend more time outside exploring and having fun together.
