I love these pictures of my girls because they highlight my favorite features: Sami's gorgeous blue eyes and Janie's beautiful, long eyelashes. When we went to Wal-mart this week, there were tons of senior citizens. At least four of them came up to me and told me how cute my girls were. One sweet, cute, little old man came up and said to me "Your girls are so cute, I want to give them something." He then stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out several coins. Now, I will admit that in my head I was saying "No, not coins! They will put them in their mouths and then I will have to take them to the ER so they can get out the coins that will be lodged in their esophagus, etc." But he was so sincere, that I just smiled and said "That's so nice of you." Sami gladly took the nickel he offered and told him thank you three times and yelled "Bye" at him at least another three times. Janie just looked at him and looked at the coin like "What's that, and who are you, and why do I want that?" He ended up giving Sami both coins. Which she held all through the store. (I actually wanted to borrow one from her at the checkout but I thought that would be frowned upon by the cashier, so I gave the cashier 2 quarters instead of the exact change that Sami's nickel would have offered.) The coins "magically" disappeared once we got home. But it was so thoughtul and reminded me that one day, I will be old. And I will go to the grocery store admiring all the cute kids. So I need to enjoy every day while it's still my turn to have the cute kiddos. And they are cute, if I say so myself :).
