Meredith... ( my basketball player)

It is rare that I get to post separate pictures of the twins. They are usually involved in the same activities. However, this year they are doing Upwards and one is in basketball and the other is doing cheerleading. I am so proud of Meredith. She had a wonderful time during opening weekend. She scored a goal and her bounce passes were the best on the team ( of course I am a little bias). I informed my husband that since my father and both brothers are excellent basketball players, it is no wonder she inherited some of the "Chase" genes!!! I can't believe that Meredith is growing up so quickly. Even though she is my "2nd" born, I often think of her as the oldest. She is like me in alot of ways. She is the one who is usually in charge of things ( my siblings refer to this as bossy), and when Noah was a baby, she would frequently point out the things that I wasn't doing correctly! Meredith is a people pleaser. She is kind to everyone and she tries very hard in school and on the soccer field. I think being a twin is harder then it seems and Meredith tries hard to distinguish herself from Madeline. Do you know how hard it is to get asked "which one are you" on a daily basis? I see many wonderful qualities in Meredith and I hope that 2007 will be a year that I as her mother, can be her biggest encourager! I Love you Meredith and I am so blessed to have you for a daughter!!! :)
