oh- my-gosh...I am totally in tears! Thank you, sis! I love your list. You are too kind with some of the things you have said and so accurate with others like laying out...that is a sport I am good at (well, at least before I had kids I was). And I do LOVE food. :-) I love you so much. My b-day is already wonderful and technically it hasn't even begun.
What a great big sister you are. THis was the sweetest post. I was even in tears. I want Elisabeth to have a sister, too. There's nothin like sisters.
That is the reason I was so excited for Summer to have a little sister. I never had one and always wished that I did.
I did know Jaime and I shared the same middle name and spelled the same way.
Happy Birthday Jaime and your so sweet to post about her.
What a sweet post, Jill. I'm all teary because you have such a beautiful relationship and I know the love runs thick both ways. I echo Cristie and think of you two when I think of wanting a sister for Lindy.
Thanks for sharing such sweetness,
Lisa
I can't say this enough - thank you dear Lord for the blessing of my children. Because I'm your Mom, I remember the early years of sisterly tension and am so overwhelmed with joy to see the loving relationship that you both share now. What a sweet and thoughtful tribute to your little sister! I'm so proud of both of you!
