My Big Sister

This sister entry isn't about my girls, but about MY sister.
I love my sister, Stephanie, and I am so thankful that we are sisters. We have such a special relationship and have always been very close. When we were little, our Sunday School teacher told my parents how cute it was to watch us because Steph always "mothered" me--she would help me put on my coat, make sure I had everything, etc. We did so much together growing up, like going to the same camps, sharing friends, going to the same college and even sharing an apartment. It was always funny when people would be surprised that we were sisters because we just seemed like best friends and I guess we haven't always looked like sisters (yes, she was the lucky one to get all the Italian coloring!) Anyway, it makes me so happy for my girls that they will always have each other, too.
And because she has been such a wonderful sister, I know that she will be an amazing mother! Yes, Stephanie is going to have a baby! She is due November 20 (Tess's birthday is November 19!) and I am thrilled to become an aunt! Congratulations to Stephanie and Tom!

Congrats to Stephanie! How exciting! How are you guys doing? We are all sick and miserable--hopefully we're on the tail end of whatever this is. Lily is so sad when she's sick! I LOVE reading your blog. Your girls and so sweet. = Angie
