Day Two Hundred and Fifty Nine and Counting...

Something has changed between my girls recently.  Ever so subtly, ever so slowly, they have reached a new level in their relationship with each other.  Maybe it is Olivia's rapidly changing vocabulary, and thus her personality, or maybe it is more of a maturity on Grace's part - a better understanding of who and what Olivia is to her.
I honestly don't know.
But something has changed. 
I have always been fascinated, watching them interact and connect.  It is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  And then this happens.  And they become even more incredible!
Suddenly, they are going out of their way to make each other laugh, to hug and be affectionate, to be nearer to each other.  Amazing.  Beautiful.
And so reassuring.  At last, that bond I have been waiting for seems to have emerged.  And it is awesome. 
What a blessing it is to be a part of this.  To be a witness to their growth as sisters, and as individuals.  To see how connected and intertwined their lives are, and are becoming.
I love you, my Cramer ladies!

Livie was being silly (and cute), trying to make Grace laugh!

Grace decided to get in on the silliness, and made a squishy face for me too!

Livie thought Grace was hilarious!

Grace was spying on me, trying to get me to laugh, too!

Those eyes really are something else, aren't they?

Of course I laughed at her shenanigans!
