Big Sister

This is truly what life is all about. The blessings that come in small packages and the knowledge that we are leading our children to be great people. The love and caring that my children have for each other sometimes leaves me a bit breathless. Don't get me wrong - they beat each other up with the best of them, but no matter what - they are sisters and they are best friends. Heaven help the person that comes between my close little family. This picture shows how loving Anna is to Julia. Because Anna is a "reader" now - Julia will take books up to her for her to read. I have caught them in bed like this as well! It is just so stinking cute to watch. Look how intent and focused they are? Doesn't it pull at your heart - just a bit? It does mine. By the way - on a change of subject and I'm not bragging - well not much - Anna is now able to read up t0 a 4.9 grade level!!!!! That means 4th grade, 9th month of school!! And she's seven!!! How cool is that? *Also notice that Julia is covering up the fact that Anna is in her underwear! So is Sophie standing next to them! Gotta love my kids!
