I’m generally a very happy person, but~
I get stuck in a rut at times.
I hole myself away in my little world until I feel as though the walls are closing in.
Until I feel like “if I clean up one more mess. . . . .”
Until the stress is like a weight.
That’s why, today, I am so thankful for my sister. We’ve gotten closer in the past 6 months. Now that she’s married she has that contentness and calmness, like she finally has someone to complete her. And that has made our relationship better as sisters. Amanda is an extrovert, I am an introvert. I cannot believe how much energy and sparkle she has after having N. only a month ago!
She gets me out of the house.
Out of my little cave.
Yesterday she was here and we just sat outside and talked and sat inside and talked. She comforted me when I thought Caleb was dying from tipping over in his high chair.
Today we went for a walk and to the park. I took a big quilt and some magazines and my camera and watched my little sister play with my son.
I’m so thankful for my sister!
Good to be Home 
cute, love the picts!
I’ve been having a lot of those days lately. Some of it has to do with pregnancy hormones, I think… I hope. Anyway, I’m glad you got out and had a good time with Amanda. I’ll see you tomorrow at the softball game. At least this time it’s at home.
I wish I could come play with you both….
But I am thankful for my sisters as well. One of them seems to always step in just when I need them. Mary Ellen came over last Friday so I could go to the dentist of all places. When I got home they were all down in back of our house making a tree fort out of an old fallen down tree. (It reminds me so much of our old fort near your mom’s house. You will have to make sure you come over for an afternoon sometime this summer to play) The kids have had so much fun playing in that old tree this past week. What a break…sanity. All because of my sister playing with my kids.
That last picture is so so much fun!!
I love hearing how close you two are getting, there is nothing that compares to sisters!!!
Gives me hope
I love sisters!
