SISTERS

I always say that a girl needs a sister and lucky for me I was blessed with 3 fantastic sisters. I know that with women comes a little drama but I feel that aside from the pinching, scratching, pulling of hair and tears over clothes we made it out pretty good.
Summer never ceases to amaze me. Whether it be her menus or her decorating and style sense I am in awe at how much talent one person can have. It seems that anything that she tries comes out looking like it was clipped from a magazine. If you sense a little jealousy there is, but thankfully she is great at sharing her wonderful ideas and is the source of much of my inspiration.
Linsey, well she has the personality that I always wanted. I was born to worry and mother and wished that I had a touch of Linsey's humor and fashion sense. She can always make a person laugh. Lins is full of adventure (hence the living in Australia) but she also has a soft side and is a great listener and has been at the end of many tearful conversations.
Ashley has been through just about everything with me. We slept in the same room for 13 years of my life and I think that she has been witness to me doing more stupid things than anyone else (parked cars and falling in public places). She has a great sense of fashion and has been more than helpful with my kids and also when I was pregnant, sick and completely unmotivated she stepped up cleaned what hadn't been done in quite some time.

Needless to say I am very grateful for my great sisters who are my best friends and was ecstatic when I found out that Lucy was going to have a sister. I watch them together and hope that they love each other even when they don't want to.
Nobody can get Evie to laugh like Lucy does, and Lucy of course loves to make her laugh. Lucy is usually the first one to greet Evie after her nap, I often find her right beside her in her crib. Lucy wants to be a part of everything even the changing of diapers and says she can't wait for Evie to sleep with her so that she can be her mommy. Here are just a couple of sister moments:

My mom was here one day and Lucy and Evie were on the bed together. My mom came down laughing and said what a great babysitter Lucy was, which made me wonder just what was going on. My mom walked in and found Evie sucking on Lucy's toes and when she asked Lucy what she was doing Lucy replied "she likes to suck on them!"

I came in to find Lucy trying to nurse Evie and when I asked what she was doing she said "I'm trying to feed her with my chesties but they are not big enough I WISH they would grow!"
