~When Makeda likes/loves something she says "muahaa". For example, when I make her dinner she says "muahaa Mommy" like she is blowing me a kiss. If she is mad at Simret she says "No muhaa Simret".
~ She has always paired her and I together and Simret and Lance together - "Mommy Makeda muahaa, Simret Daddy muahaa." However, for the last two days she pairs Lance and I together and Simret and her together. She now says "Daddy kiss Mommy" so we kiss, then she says "I loven o" which means 'I love you' to her. That is our cue for Lance and I to say "I love you" to each other. She smiles so big and then repeats the whole situation about an hour later. So, yes Lance and I are getting to make out a lot :)
~The girls are getting to be such good friends, the fighting has gone down to a reasonable level - at about a couple times per day. They dance, play, hug, sing all day long with a few battles in between. Soooooo much better! Lance and I can actually have a conversation - yet short. I feel like we have turned a HUGE corner. Don't get me wrong - we have a long way to go - a lifetime in fact. However, I have a feeling that our lifetime together, with these two crazy girls, will be filled with nothing but magic mixed with a bit of frustration and topped with a whole lot of fun.

Adopting an "older" one takes a lot of patience :) Sounds like you're doing a great job. They sound like very sweet girls.
So happy that things are going well for you. I can't believe how close they are in age! What a cool thing for the girls as they grow.
Ruby and Makeda must be conspiring about kissing. Ruby loves to see my parents kiss and tries to find boys for me to kiss. Glad things are going so well!
