my sister

 today is my sister's day.      she's the birthday girl!

(and no, you can't keep being the birthday girl until june)

i never thought i would see the day when she dressed up as a princess.

and this picture just says it all, screaming kid and all. . .

she's just as crazy as her boys.

always on the run!

her boys love her sooooo much.

i love the occasional phone calls for night-night-prayers

and the invitations to come for a sleep-over on the tramp

from her boys.

i'm so there next summer for a few days.

i love my sis. we get have to fun adventures every so often.

she's my best friend.

and lately, she has been my rock,

helping to me to sift through how i feel,

reminding me of what is truly most important,

helping me to keep my eye on the prize

and 

to always feel loved.

thank you.

she's amazing, beautiful, strong, my sister.

i love you becky-doodles.

happy, happy birthday.
