This photo was taken back in 2000. Jessica was turning 5 and Lauren was nearly 2 years old. We were living in an apartment in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I snapped this picture on a Sunday after church. The girls were running around in their slips! I thought they were so cute. Notice how Lauren is standing on one tippie toe.
Some of you may remember that Jessica cut her own hair. It was so short. She cut it almost to the scalp in some places. She looked like a european punk rocker. The crazy part is that some people actually thought I cut Jessica's hair in that style. I didn't think I would survive that ordeal!
My girls are young women now. It's amazing how the time has gone by so quickly. I love the song that you probably hear playing right now. "Slipping Through My Fingers." Sometimes I feel just like the words to this song. Before I know it, my girls will be leaving home. It makes me so sad to think that their childhood is nearly gone.

Oh Julie! I was so excited to see your comment and to get in touch with you again. Your blog seriously makes me so sad. First of all, that song! And then to see your kids growing up so fast! especially Jessica! Holy cow, she's a young woman now. It really hits me that my boys are going to be there tomorrow! And, what is happening to us? We are getting older too! You all look wonderful. I am going to add you to my blog list. And yes, isn't it awesome that I got my girl!
That is adorable! I can't help but think Lauren looks a little like Maya C. in this photo. Also, I don't remember the story about Jessica cutting her own hair....very funny!
It is amazing to me that Jessica could cut her hair off and still look beautiful! What cute girls you have!
i love how i can still totally recognize jessica. lauren was harder but as soon as i saw her i saw jessica. such an adorable picture and post. hate that i missed the book club tonight on zippy. you're picture of them reminded me of the book. not that zippy ran around much in dresses but just flashes back to childhood.
