My sister’s girls

These girls…

These are my sister’s daughters, staying with us for a few days in Michigan from northern Minnesota. They are full of youth, adventure, and wild independence. Raw beauty. Every time I see them, I’m amazed at how much taller, smarter, and wittier they are. They’re becoming young ladies right before our eyes, and it’s an amazing thing. Just beautiful.
