At midnight, we hit a milestone. My nutty, sweet, funny, smart, beautiful, loving, delightful, kind, sassy, nerdy, talented, creative daughters turned twenty-one. I could not be more proud to be their mom.
Long time readers have watched them grow up -- they were 12 when Through the Loops began. They have been an indispensable part of this blog ever since, modeling, and allowing me to share their lives for the past 9 years.
They've modeled finished objects in the cold, heat, and rain.
Only grumbled slightly when I posted a photo of an eye roll or pout.
Twisted themselves into crazy knots to get just the right photo of a trio of socks.
Allowed me to show off their own creative efforts.
They've danced when I've said "dance".
And jumped when I've said "jump".
Happy birthday to the two most amazing young women I know.
Happy b-day! These pics made me smile :)

I always wondered who your model was. I had no idea they were your daughters and there were two of them. They are beautiful. Happy birthday to them.

I love the collage, especially the shot in the middle with you jumping between the two of them. Congratulations to all!

Thanks for sharing the photos. How lucky you are, but I'm sure your parenting had much to do with how they turned out :)

Your kids are absolutely inspiring and I can't wait to see what they do next! (You know I mean that, as I keep watching with my own in mind....)

They are both beautiful and adorable-- and I showed your description of them to my 12-year-old daughter because it fits her to a tee. :) Happy birthday to your girls!
