Sisters

I have not fallen off the face of this earth. I know it seems like maybe I have- but we've been around. Actually, I take that back. That's part of the problem... we've been so busy, we haven't been around. Between recitals, and events and lessons, we also managed to take a mini-vacation "up North," as we like to say. We enjoyed 4 days of hiking and biking and the refreshing pure air. At some point- I hope I get around to posting pictures!

But, until then, I wanted to post a few pictures I snapped of my little girls the other morning.

After my first daughter was born, I always hoped that God would bless us with another girl someday. I grew up with a sister, and my heart hoped for a sister for my own little daughter. Well, when I delivered child number 2, we heard, "It's a BOY!" and though I was delighted to have a son, I still held out hope that one day I'd give my daughter her sister.

Sure enough, 2 years later, along came child number 3. And, sure enough, a sisterhood was born.

Though they are 4 years apart in age, and- truth be told- my oldest daughter and son are BEST friends (truly inseparable) there are still moments where my girls do things that I always had imagined little sisters would do.

When I rounded the corner in my kitchen, and saw the following scene- my heart just melted and I prayed that I would see many more moments just like this one throughout the coming years...
