Missing Pieces

I sometimes wonder what Faith, Cameron, and Mallory would do without eachother.  It's all they have ever really known.Faith and Cam never recall a day without Mallory, either. We were looking at pictures the other day and came across one without Mallory. Cam said, "Where Mawee?" They looked at me like I was crazy when I said, "Well, she wasn't here yet. She was in my belly."

They fight. They play. They team against eachother. They team against me. They feed off of eachother.  They are one cute, adventurous, wild trio!....and they are rarely anything less. I said before the twins were born (and LONG before I began to imagine that we would have a third) that we would make certain to get one-on-one time with the kids. I felt that it was important. I must say that I have failed miserably with that one. It just never seems to work out! When it does happen, it is often due to an event or circumstance that forces it....enter Saturday morning....

I had waited last minute to purchase anything to wear for a wedding that we were attending (since my teacher wardrobe basically consists of a pair of gray, black, brown, and khaki pants-no dresses). So, I took Faith to find a dress and Cody took Mallory and Cam to the bank. All were eager and satisfied with where they were going and who they were going with. I don't really think that they really realized that they would be SEPERATED...

It was clear shortly after going in our seperate directions that Faith and Cam were still thinking about their missing half.  Faith kept asking about her "bruder (brother)" I asked if she missed him and she said, "Yes. He my favit kid."  She also was worried that Cameron was, "lost." She wondered several times, "What Camen doin?"  Cameron wanted to "find Taif (Faith)." When at the bank, he was sure to get "Taif" a "succa."  Although they can fight and disagree, they definitely are looking after one another. Sweet. I love these babies!
