differences

From the same family gene pool my two girls are so different.  So much that you sometimes think are they not even sisters.

 This one is creative, organised, highly emotional, super musical, really smart (she was chosen to be a MATHLETE and I just saw her problems for the competition and I have no idea...), generous, and people oriented.  She wants to be a writer, and I can't wait for her to start getting grades for drama at highschool because she is practising it hard at home.

 This one is punctual, people oriented, organised, a great listener, HILARIOUS (all of our family crack up moments tend to be Gab inspired), committed (she will practise something until she gets it right), quiet in new settings and has long long ballet legs.  She wants to be a nurse.  And she will.  Because she has made her mind up and that is what will happen.  The same reason she knows God wears green pants and blue shirt.

It is wonderful and crazy and frustrating to see them grow.  They are the best of friends and play for a long time elaborate games with multiple characters - 'Mum pretend you are the mum and we are the visiting kids' - ok I will slip into that role well.  They also know exactly how to push each other's buttons to provoke solar flare ups and emotional battering.

Their relationship is fascinating.

And here are a couple of photos that Annika took from a recent wedding we attended.  I think she has a good eye for light....
And the wedding was gorgeous and we were so excited to be there!
