there was something i wanted to remember...

on christmas eve, we let the girlies three open their sister gifts. it was such a perfect moment, it still hurts my heart.

at one point, esmé stopped, stood in the middle of the room, and honestly squealed.

i feel all tingly inside!

later, uncle sugar told me he was grateful that lillie and grae still believe. or, at least, pretend to believe.




why wouldn't they? i thought. they're my girls. and if nothing else of value, i hope i've taught them that life's so much more fun when you believe in its magic. makes you all tingly inside...and that's never a bad thing, is it?

some of my favorite beliefs are utterly impossible. i love them the most.

not sure from where that ring came, but i've been saving it for a while. plus it reminds me of all the fancy rings my girlies bought me. my fave was probably $7.99. if that. but, man, is it joy 'round my finger! you can see it if you come to alt summit! xoxo and have a sweet weekend, you sweet things!

it's important to believe in impossible things -- i think it helps to make them possible. and magic is so very, very important.

Oh, I think they are the luckiest little girls alive to have you as their mama...ya know? Yes. they are. I so wish I was coming to alt....not just to see your ring but, just to bask in your glow & laugh at all of your jokes, so hard that there are tears in my eyes. Gah, so much fun. I am jealous. :) And I know those moments of which you speak, the ones that make your heart hurt with joy. I love those the best.
