The other morning over breakfast, as Lauren was cradling her Baby Jesus, I asked the girls the question, "Do you want to have kids someday?"
Lauren's response, "Yes. I want to have four. Two boys and two girls."
Kate's response, "Nah. I want to hang out with my friends and go different places."
We shall see what the future holds. How different two siblings can be.

Let it Snow...This time in NC!
The girls have been very lucky this year in the snow department! After experiencing record-breaking snowfall amounts in VA this past December, they awoke to a vision of white this past Saturday...this time in NC.
Once the precipitation started to taper off, we bundled them up and sent them out to explore (with Mark, of course). They tested out their boots in the driveway and kicked around some snow before heading over to our neighbors for sledding.
Actually, the girls opted to be spectators for the sledding portion. (They preferred to get down the hill by rolling.) However, Mark got in on the action and took a couple of runs down the hill for them.
Throughout the next couple of days, the girls ventured out a few more times, hanging out with the other kids in the neighborhood, tossing snowballs, sledding with their cousins, Peter and Michael, and most importantly, enjoying hot chocolate.
Now after 3 days off from school and the snow almost melted, it's back to our normal schedule...that is after a one-hour delay in the morning. Welcome to NC!
