A Tale of Two Sisters

One of the things that I have loved the most about the last few months with Hannah Cate and Maddie is watching their personalities develop and evolve. They are so different and unique.

Take this picture for example:

This is such a great representation of their personalities. Maddie has absolutely no fear and she knows no boundaries. While Hannah Cate is much more content to stand back and observe, she's much more cautious and reserved.

In many ways, Hannah Cate is so much more like me and Maddie is so much more like Matt.

It's hard to not compare them at every turn - especially because they are so close in age and as we hit these new milestones with Maddie it's pretty easy to remember back to what Hannah Cate was like at that age.

However, especially now with a third sweet girl coming, I want to remind myself to celebrate their differences. Encourage them to embrace the unique gifts and talents the Lord has given them.


The reality of having three girls is starting to hit me. Soon there will be three little heads in that picture!
