Hi all, I know I have been terrible about posting on the blog. I thought I would share something we submitted a couple of months ago to the Harward family newsletter:



—Who better to tell you all about our family, than us, "Fayth"
—And me, "Daisy." I'll let sister start.—Hi, everyone. It’s me, "Fayth," I am 17 months old. As the first born, it is my right to start first. I love my sister and I try to say her name as often as I can. Maybe, it is because I hear mommy call her name so much throughout the day. I try to hug her, but she tries to pretend that she is not interested, but I know she loves me. We laugh and laugh and laugh in our quiet moments together. I am enjoying talking and can really talk mommy and daddy's ears off. I think I even did to Nana the other day. I love the telephone, I can even pretend to text. I have to say, that I am currently a "daddy’s" girl. He is so cuddable. I enjoy sitting a reading a good book. Ok, I can't read, but I sure could fool a few of you. I love that mommy takes the time to slide us around the house, whether its on a blanket or just on our knees. Mommy and daddy make us laugh everyday. It must be healthy, because it sure makes us feel good. I love to clean too! Give me a wet paper towel or a baby wipe and I get to it. First, I always have to clean my tongue. It’s just good, not to have a "dirty mouth." Daisy and I enjoy helping mommy in the kitchen. Yeah, we're probably in the way most of the time, but I think she appreciates the help. —Ok, Ok, Fayth, give me a turn.—Hi out there. It’s the cute one, me, "Daisy". I am also 17 months old. You're a smart one if you figured out that we are twins. As the tallest, by a whole 1/2 inch, I have the ability to climb.
—Daisy! I climb too!
—Oh yeah, Fayth can too. Let me clear up the mommy calling my name all day. I am very adventurous and try to get into anything I can. Mommy will attest that I do listen most of the time when she calls my name. As for my sister, she pretends that mommy is not talking to her.
—Daisy! Daisy!!
—Fayth likes to think she’s the boss of me. I prefer to communicate using the signs mommy has taught us. We both enjoy watching "Signing Time". I'm just not quite ready to talk. I did say "Nana" the other day while talking to grandma in Utah. Everyone was pretty impressed. Mommy and I share a freckle on our feet. I can even point to it if you ask. I love to play in the dirt and throw it up in the air and wonder how does it come down on my head. So I do it again and again. Yeah, it gets mommy excited too. That's usually when I hear my name a lot.Fayth and I enjoy being outside, painting, kicking our soccer balls, and our special bath time with daddy. I’m a very good mommy to my dolls. I always take them for walks in the stroller and tuck them into bed with a kiss goodnight.
—Daisy! Daisy!! I’ll finish. Mommy is working in the hospital as a registered nurse. She misses us lots when she’s at work, but she says she enjoys taking care of others and seeing her co-workers. She likes to tell people that she is a stay-at-home mom that works all night. She really takes good care of us and makes sure we know how much she loves us. She has really been trying to help us fold our arms for prayers and reads the scriptures to us. Mommy teaches the sunbeams at church and we get to go to Nursery next month! Being a mom has been an adjustment for her, but she is doing it. Sometimes she is too hard on herself. We love her so much.Daddy continues to teach Spanish and is the foreign language department chair at the local high school. He is the funniest daddy. He gets all over the floor with us. It reminds mommy of how her daddy used to be and she enjoys seeing it. He has named all our bath time toys, down to the sponge "sudsy". He doesn't mind the splashing. He is so patient with us.What a team. Well, that's about it. Until next time. I'm sure we will have more to share.

It's nice to hear from you. Your girls are so cute! I remember when you took Nadine to reunion before you were married. I'm glad she stuck with you even after that! I look forward to seeing all of you at reunion.
