My Girls……. Little Women

Well, I missed the Easter post (along with a few others), so I thought I would take the time to share my girls with you instead.

I am so fortunate to have 4 daughters who are so completely different from each other, but each so special to me in their own way.  Thinking of them has always reminded me of a favorite book…"Little Women". 

This year for Easter we were fortunate to have them all home with us to share the Holiday.

Stacey is my oldest and reminds me very much of Meg.  A well mannered girl who appreciates the finer things in life, but who also looks out for her younger sisters.  Stacey has been hard at work, taking care of her 2 children while earning her degree in Nursing and working at a very busy local restaurant. She will graduate in just a few weeks.

McKayla, her daughter is a little carbon copy of her Mum and we love her to pieces!

Ashley is next and you have seen her many times here on my blog as my go to model for my knits.  Ashley is somewhat like Jo as she was a tomboy growing up and loves to read.  Ashley, too, is working very hard on finishing her Master's Degree in teaching with a focus on English Literature.  Like Jo, you never quite know what is going to come out of her mouth when she speaks….she can be quite surprising at times….LOL

 
 
Courtney here with her friend Tom fits this description of Jo very much….
"tall, thin, and brown, and reminded one of a colt, for she never seemed to know what to do with her long limbs, which were very much in her way. She had a decided mouth, a comical nose, and sharp, green eyes, which appeared to see everything, and were by turns fierce, funny, or thoughtful."
Courtney, like Ashley has been more of a tomboy…very athletic, talkative and has the kindest of hearts.  She is the tallest of my girls…which isn't hard as we are not a tall group. 🙂

…and then there is Hannah…she is such a combination of both Beth and Amy.  The quiet, shyness and musicality of Beth along with some of the baby of the family traits owned by Amy.  Amy who as a youngster was prone to temper tantrums, but as she grew inhibited a gentle, kindly spirit….that is our Hannah.

I am so blessed to share my life with 4 amazing women and a very special granddaughter and so proud to share them with you!
