Its not enough that Isabela is wearing her new flannel nightie lovingly made by her Nani as she mends this little bear in the studio today. Sweet yes, but that wasn't enough.
She also has the most precious little curls in her hair still lingering from her big sister Juliana taking the time to give them to her in the "beauty shop". Sweeter still? The bear is Eleni's and Isabela is wiggling in her seat waiting to surprise her with his mended arm.
But what really has me feeling a flutter around my heart? She wanted to do this not just for Eleni, but also for me. "Because you have so much work Mommy." And cheerfully she said it.
A warning to you: kindness appears to be contagious.
A good year so far. xoxo, Anna

For some reason this made me cry. Your life looks so beautiful. Your children are such gifts. And your gift to us is sharing it all. Thank you!
Doesn't it just make you feel like you're a great example to them, when they do something sweet for each other? I love that feeling. Always nice to get a little validation as a Mom, eh?
that is just too sweet! i love when my girls do something so loving like that! makes all the hard days being a mother so worth it!
that is too precious! what a sweet family you have. awesome job at instilling things like this in your childrens life. what a great momma!
My heart sings to see a child with needle and thread! My son used to keep his little sister occupied, telling her, "Mom needs a piece of quiet!"
How sweet!!!!
I came across your blog tonight quite by accident. I sat down to read and thought....wow! this woman can really write. I continued to explore and was just entranced.....truly. I rarely spend so much time reading, admiring and absorbing on one site. Thank you, this is a gift. Your work, your children and your home are just lovely.

You have such a wonderful family. What a great memory to treasure and share with the girls when they get older!

I have to say I've done a bit of bear surgery in my day and I can tell from your photos that you have an excellent bear doctor on your hands!
What an absolutely sweet child. You have been a wonderful mommy, for her to learn these things!
Anna,I so admire you enjoying each tender moment in spite of your busy life. Your kids must feel so loved and important.
Kindness certainly is contagious -- and it's wonderful that your children are learning it from you. Happy new year to all of your -- may it bring much joy, love and laughter!
Be still my heart!!!!!
