One of the most beautiful and enriching things in my life is to watch my two girls interact. The bond that they have with each other is amazing. In fact, one night last week we had Vivi sleep in our room because she was running a fever. In the wee hours of the morning, Vivi woke up and fussed a little bit. Instead of calling for Mommy or Daddy, she called out for “Guppy” (or “Buppy” in Vivi-speak). And last night as the girls went to bed, Bryan and I overheard the sweet sounds of Ariana singing her sister to sleep.

These are the moments and memories that buoy me up when the other demands of motherhood seem too great.

Thank heaven for little girls!
