So I have decided that the next best thing to having your own baby is when your sister has her baby. My sister, Sarah, gave birth to her first child last Friday night. Her name is Tess Evelyn. Yes, I was invited to the birth. I am so LUCKY. The minute her little body emerged I felt like so in love with her! She is perfect. I think Isabelle and Amelia feel as though they now have this real little girl doll that they have always wanted. (a "sister") They love their brothers, don't get me wrong, but I do hear about it all the time that they really do want a little sister. So I think their cousin is it. They ask me 20 times a day (at least) if we can go to aunt Sarah's. Isabelle wants to help put her new clothes away and Amelia wants 27 more pictures of her with Tess. (because we do not have enough) Just look at her...
This is the story of my life with my amazing husband and five of the most incredible gifts I have been given: my children. This was created as a tool for me to record and share all of the beautiful and funny memories of our family. It serves as an outlet for me to reflect on the day and various events. I consider this "therapeudic, " like a diary. I hope you love it as much as I do and find joy in the everyday events (and challenges) of a family of 7!
