Special

We have been wading through some medical issues with Carrie and her eyes and have found out that she has some other problems that will require surgery. We are feeling so thankful and blessed to have her gorgeous face to look at each day!

Last night Mia was feeling a bit upset by all of the attention and "special" treatment that Carrie has been getting and was crying in her bed (with a very annoying voice and repeating it....this is a standard Mia practice) "I am not special, I am not special, I am not special....and on and on and on and on. Oh, you probably get the point now. Anywho, the girls and I had a discussion on the special qualities that they each have.

We decided that Maddie is special with her abilities as an artist.
Mia is special in the way that she is always so concerned about people and her family members. Carrie is special because she can float on her back in the pool! (Maddie thought of that one!) Callie wasn't directly involved in the converation as she was asleep in her room...but she is none the less special because of the way that she loves and looks up to her sisters. And all of the slobbery kisses that she has become famous for in our house!
