TWISTIES AND TURNIES

Thanks Mandy for the great countdowns- I have to admit it's made me a little stressed though when I see how quick everythings going to be happening!

This is Whitney and her friend Sydney watching TV last night, they've been friends since they met in elementary school in 6th grade. They've been through LOTS and LOTS of adventures together and it's been so fun since Whit has been home from school that we get to see Sydney more. They used to spend hours in the pool planning productions they would do for Jon called "Twisties and Turnies". When Jon and Mandy started dating they were both 12 and I think they had little crushes on him. I think he just enjoyed having little sisters to tease! It was so sweet to me last night when I went downstairs and they were cuddled on the couch together, eating peanut butter M & M's- it made me sad too cause I relized how soon Whitney will be marrying Ryan and won't be in the bedroom around the corner from ours! It's really starting to sink in for Lynn that his baby is leaving- he said yesterday as sad as he is that she's getting married he'd been even sadder if Ryan wasn't in her life. It's what you hope for, pray for, and work for with your children- that they grow and mature and find someone to share their lives with, but I have to tell you that there are nights we wish we could open her bedroom door and see our little girl with her pixie haircut tucked into bed!
