I can see myself in those eyes


Ever wonder how 1 child looks just like you and another looks like the stork delivered them. When I look at Amanda I literally see myself, when I look at Samantha I wonder where did she get her looks from. Amanda is funny she is now wanting to look like Sam, even to the point of flipping her hair to side like sissy use to. I didn't grow up with my sister like these 2 are but I bet it would of been fun. I have Danielle, Saundra and Brooke- I wish I could have grown up around them I think it would of been great. I miss them and I love them as if we were always close. I feel odd being the oldest of all my siblings and yet know so little about them, its time to make some changes and get to know them and my brother David I have a whole another family that I need to know. I want my girls to love and take care of one another when I am gone, so I feel that I should set an example to them and get to know my family.

Wow! What a great picture of Amanda. She is growing up so fast isn't she? Amanda doesn't need to try to look like her sister or anyone else. She is beautiful just the way she is. It's okay to appreciate the beauty of others, but it's also important to realize that every one of us is beautiful in our own ways before the Father and we should concentrate on becoming all that God wants us to be instead of trying to be like someone else (I know this is practically impossible to accomplish during those teen years!) Anyway, this world would be a lesser place without Amanda just as she is. Thanks for the post and pics.

Well I can say it would have been fun to grow up with me, but Saundra and Brooke are another story all together :-) J/K or am I. I always wished you had been around I always wanted an older sister around to steal clothes and makeup from instead of being stole from.
