keeping up with the kologinczaks: i love my girls!

6.12.2011

i thought today would be a perfect day to combine two of my favorite things, my girls and photography :) seeing as how today was one of those "lazy" days i figured a mini photo shoot would be something fun to do!

i took the girls upstairs to our game room and let them run around with all their favorite toys. they always have such a blast up there and today was no exception! the second we got up the stairs (which anya can now climb all by herself and slowly walk down almost by herself!) they ran for their favorite things and i just clicked away!!! granted i don't own my nice canon slr camera anymore (long story), so i had to make due with our old canon powershot.

isabela, being the big sister that she is, was just so so sweet to anya :) she would go up to her and hug her and wanted nothing else but to love on her! anya was just all over the place so isabela had to move herself around just to grab onto her for a second. i swear, my anya, is something else! what can i expect from a 16 month old any way?! she is just go, go, go all the time, as i'm sure you've seen me mention once or twice before in previous posts.

truly and honestly, i am just blown away at how much i love my girls...they are so beautiful in their own way and so unique in their personalities. even with their differences though, they compliment each other so well. they run and laugh and play together and it makes me feel truly blessed to have them as my daughters and in my life! every time that i look at their little faces or catch a glimpse of them when they don't think anyone is watching, i smile and thank God for them. my heart swells with so much love for them and the feeling i feel is indescribable. a smile from them is like heaven on earth :)

did i tell you how much i love hugging them? ohhhh they have such a sweet smell. every time i hug isabela or anya, i hold them tight and close my eyes and i just drown in them. i don't know if that makes any sense to you, but it's the only way i can describe it. i love how tiny they are to me and how precious and sweet and innocent they are to me. they are so much a part of my soul, a part of my very being, that i don't know how it was ever possible to have a life before them. i guess that's what happens when you share your body with them, every fiber of your being becomes theirs. truly, there is nothing in this world more remarkable, extraordinary, and unique than the bond between a mother and her child.

so with all that said, let's get to the good stuff, shall we? here are my girls and all their beauty!!!
