Figure I should give you an introduction to the cause of some of my insanity... They also happen to be the source of some of my greatest joy. Their names are Sophia, who is 7, Roman, 3, and Vincent and Castle, my twins who are about 20 months.
I'll start with Sophia. 7 years ago she entered my life as obstinate and adorable as she is today. I say obstinate because she got stuck during labor and had to come out the hard way via c-section. She has been a drama queen from day one!
Aside from being a drama queen, Sophia is a fascinating little girl. She has this imagination that allows her to make up a game for any situation! She loves music and has this perfectly tuned little voice. She can come up with a song on the spot and sing it like she's been singing it forever. She loves to be the center of attention and, honestly... I see her on Broadway some day.
She has this uncanny way of making me look at a dreary day and find it beautiful. Many times as we've been out and about, in the rain, she's commented on how nice it is out. She's right. Without the rainy days we wouldn't have the bright sunny ones with trees and flowers and grass in bloom. Why shouldn't we celebrate all of God's creation?
She can also drag me way out of my comfort zone. Before her I would never even think of playing silly games. I wouldn't dance around the room just for fun, and I probably would never have thought to start writing...
She's beautiful, she's funny, she's sweet and she is a perfect gift from God.
