She is Mom#2 in our home, and at times is preferred over Mom#1 (yours truly), because she is so loving and sweet to her little brothers, and always has been to her sister too. I am so grateful to have her.
A few words about this 10 year old girl:
She loves sparkly white and pink, she loves to sing and dance, she loves to dress up and feel like a princess.
She can read better than anyone I know, and will often read aloud to her siblings, even impersonating voices and accents. ( I myself love to listen as she reads The Chronicles of Narnia to them in the van, her English accent is unmatchable :)
She can cook several wonderful meals, and if she had to (though she wouldn't enjoy it) she could clean this house top to bottom just the way I like it.
She loves everything "girly" and yet can hold her own quite well on the soccer field and in wrestling matches with her brothers.
She has a contagious giggle, is sensitive to the feelings of others, and is just sweet in every imaginable way.

Stephani,
What a sweet family you have...
Do you remember me? I'm Amy, Jenessa's sister. I used to babysit you guys! I found your blog through Jenessa--and it has been so wonderful to look at your pictures. How are you and your siblings? The twins? I myself have twin girls. They are 2 years old. Congratulations on #6--they are such blessings!
Here is my blog:

That is so sweet what a touching tribute to your daughter. You are such a good mom to your children Stephani I hope that someday I get the chance to be as good of a mom as you are.
How sweet! I feel like I have so much to catch up on! I can't believe that you have a 10 year old! I love looking at all the pictures you post-and cannot get over how much your girls look just like you and how I remember you at that age!
