Eden and Everly Turn 12!

 

These two amazing kiddos are 12 today! We are so proud of the people they are becoming and we can't wait to see what this next year brings to them! They both still play tennis, but Everly definitely likes it better than Eden. Eden started a dance class this year which she really enjoys. Eden and Everly both joined the middle school chorus and they are really loving it! They have always loved to sing and perform so this is right up their alley. Everly struggled with middle school at first and the larger workload that came with all advanced classes, but she seems to be hitting her stride now. She is such a hard worker and often is the first one up in the house studying early in the morning. Eden has adapted to middle school like a fish to water being her little social butterfly self. Both girls are getting into skincare and makeup more and more so that has been so fun! The girls got their own bedrooms for the first time this year so we were interested to see how that would change their relationship, but they seem to be growing closer after getting some space of their own. Eden has finally found a love of reading and we are so glad to welcome her into this family of readers! Eden is still struggling to put on weight and still has some pretty serious food avoidance and texture issues as well as hyper-fixation foods. She is working through that with a wonderful therapist. We would love for her to experience the world through food, but it just might not be in the cards for her. The girls are loving their teachers and their classes this year and are really blossoming in middle school. They are silly, kind, funny and magnetic. We are so lucky they are ours!
