meet my kids

My girls left with their dad for Alaska yesterday morning. It’s funny how my feelings flip flop over this matter. I spend 95% of time with my girls and their dad about 5% as of lately. I crave a break when I’m with them, just wanting a few hours alone to run errands and go for a run. However, the moment they walk out my door I feel a huge sense of loss. I worry about them and find myself going over previous frustrations I’ve had with them hoping they realize how incredibly loved they are by me. This week long break is as good for them as it is me. They’ll be with all the Harris cousins, on a lake fishing and playing. I’m actually a little jealous and tried inviting myself on the trip. Like really, their dad and I could just ignore each other like we did the last couple years of marriage.:) If you follow me on Instagram @lisafharris you’ve seen and read plenty about my daughters. If not, here’s a little info on each of these beauties…

Avery | has a strong personality. She loves people. Avery is smart like her dad. She attracts really great friends and is a leader. She recently started to like boys. As in, even told the boy on Valentines Day that she liked him and he looked at her with a blank stare. Probably not what she hoped for. Avery loves the water, art, music. She knows the lyrics to any and every song on the radio. What I love most about my eldest daughter is her sense of who she is. She doesn’t pretend to know, she knows.

Poppy | is my free spirit. She loves the idea of being different from the rest. Poppy is as sweet as they come. She loves to dance and is obsessed with the Video Star app on her iPad. She recently started sharing a room with Goldie and reminds me daily that it’s ruining her life. Poppy is the kid you could hang with all day and feel like you’re out with your best girlfriend. She loves to love and if you cross her once, watch out.

Goldie | oh Gold. Where do we even start? I’ve never met a child with better one liners than Goldie. She makes me laugh all day long and makes her sisters crazy. She is actually incredibly shy around strangers. It takes her awhile to warm up to others but once she does she’s her true spunky self. Gold came into our family when I didn’t think I could handle one more stress and she ended up saving us. Heavenly Father truly knows what we need to be humbled and blesses us even in the hardest situations.
