Girls in Love

A house full of girls can create many emotions. This I knew would happen. The emotion that I did not expect to happen so soon (or young, depending on how you look at it) is that of 'love'. Now I know that this is not 'true love' but it is an emotion that my girls have developed for particular boys. Maybe I should use the word preference over 'love' but either way it is a joyful, pure, and sweet emotion. While it does give me a bit of fear for the future it also makes me happy and brings a smile to my face. The other day while doing laundry in our upstairs hallway, I overheard my two eldest Ewoks were holding a conversation downstairs. It went something like this;

Ansley: "...I love Kegee and he is going to take me to the Temple."

Miranda: "Well who am I gonna marry then?"

Ansley: "I don't know, but you can't marry Kegee cause'he loves me."

Miranda: "I want to marry Emmitt and Joesph."

Ansley: "You can only take one boy to the Temple, thats how it works, silly"

Miranda: "Okay, I want Joesph to take me to the Temple cause Ellie likes Emmitt and he can take her."

The funniest thing about this conversation is that its true, all of it, and I have proof. The Ansley and Kegan thing has been sence they were about 10 months old. They have been best friends for thier while little lives. We have picture upon picture of the two of them. Moving on to Miranda; now I really do not think that Joesph has any clue that Miranda is even around but she sure knows when he is here. I got this photo tonight, it's what reminded me of this conversation.

Don't they look guilty like they were caught in a special moment.

And finally Emmitt and Ellie (their names really do sound good together). Ellie starts almost everyday looking for Emmitt and if we get into the car she begins "Emmitt house, mommy, Emmitt." Then they squeal in delight when we see eachother.

I hope that one day my girls meet wonderful young men who will stand up to all that these three precious little girls deserve, and I would take each of the boys they have already picked, as son-in-laws anyday....well - lets wait about 15 more years if we can.
