In the cookies of life, sisters are the chocolate chips. ~Author Unknown

When we found out Janie was a girl, we were so excited. I wanted Sami to have a sister. I have four brothers and one sister. My sister and I share a connection that I don't have with my brothers. These two play all day, and sometimes it seems like they fight all day. They both love to sing, but they want to sing one at a time. If Sami is singing and Janie joins in, she gets upset, and vice versa. I have recently heard them counting each other to time out (that's 1, that's 2, ok, time-out).  But when they play,and dance, and giggle together, it makes my heart sing. I am so glad that they get to go through life together.

 I remember when my Mom always said that our friends would come and go but we would have our brothers and sisters forever. When I was in high school, it was hard to believe that I wouldn't be around my friends forever. But honestly, I haven't seen them since high school. My mom was right. I know I will say the same thing to my girls. Sisters are life-long friends. (So enough with the fighting already!)
