Daisy is our sunshine girl. When I think of "day's eye" (the meaning of her name) I think of sunshine. It was no coincidence that she was born on the summer solstice. She has the natural ability to brighten the room when she walks in. Daisy also has the baby-of-the-family goofiness. When I looked up celebrities who are also babies of their families I found every name listed was a comedian. No surprise there! She makes us laugh and smile every day with her antics. Whether making a "wormstache" or simply choosing her own wardrobe, life with Daisy is certainly a lot of fun.
Amelia means "industrious" which certainly fits her perfectly. She received the "leader" award for her kindergarten graduation this year. When I need help around the house she is the first to offer her assistance. Often if I simply suggest "We should clean our rooms today" a little while later she will come get me to see what she's done. While the rest of the kids were procrastinating or complaining, she was hard at work cleaning her bedroom. Amelia is wonderful with kids. I will be shocked if she doesn't go into a field where she works with children. She is also an excellent artist and very creative. Her self-portrait of what she wants to be when she grows up was by far the most detailed and colorful of her class. She has a kind and caring heart and is constantly bringing me the sweetest notes with drawings of herself and me saying "I love you Mome." While Daisy may be the sunshine of our family, Amelia is the rainbow.

As they celebrate their birthdays this year, I am reminded of how blessed I am to have two amazing daughters in my life. Each brings her own unique personality to our family and it is so fun to see them grow into such wonderful little people.
