Sisters

A night home from work usually goes about like this. Walk in the door at 6 p.m. Baby G usually wants a bottle immediately and is crying. Isabella wants dinner like yesterday. I quickly heat up Isabella dinner, get her shoes and coat off and sit her down at the table. Then on to Baby G. I grab the bottle out of the fridge and get it in her mouth as fast as I can so she stops crying. I run over and let Baxie outside real quick so he doesn't eat all of Isabella's food or harass her.
20 minutes later, I escort Isabella upstairs and give her a shower, brush her teeth and give her medicine. Baby G is swinging away in the swing. Then, Bob comes home. He gives Baby G a bath and finishes feeding her for the evening. Baxie wants food and water so I fill up both.

8 p.m. it is and both kids are sleeping peacefully. Ahhhh....I take a deep breath. Then Bob looks at me and is ready to eat dinner. So I begin that. About 8:30 were eating and by 9 p.m. the kitchen is cleaned up and everything is prepared for the next day. Whew!

On good days, neither girl is crying endlessly when we walk through the door for food and I grab the camera real quick and capture a video that ABSOLUTELY makes my day. It makes me glow from the inside out and I forget all of the chinese fire drills!

As I watch Isabella and Giselle, I can only wonder about sisters and the special bond that they have or that they may create. I wonder if my sister Dawn was this excited to play with me when I was a baby. I'm thinking she was. And then there was Bob. He got to have twice the fun, as he has two younger sisters. I will never know what that feels like, however I do know that I ALWAYS wanted to be around my sister. Which being 7 years apart, I am sure I was a THORN in her side growing up. Especially when she was in high school and all I wanted to do was be with her and do what she was doing. I remember wanting to be near her, wanting to wear her perfume, and so much more. I remember when she was in high school and would go out on the weekends, I would sleep in her bed until she came home. I guess I wanted to make sure she came home safe. Or the time we were in Aruba and I woke up and she wasn't next to me in the bed, so I got up and looked out the peep hole. Then opened the door.

As I watch Isabella grow to love Baby G more and more everyday, I hope they continue to develop that special sisterly relationship because.....

a sister is your other half.
she is your guiding star.
she is in your heart and soul.
she is more than your sister, she is your best friend.
she is the one that will be there when your heart needs to mend.
she is your other half, and when you are with her, you are WHOLE. LOVE YOU PIGGY

Enjoy the video everyone and LOVE UP on your sister or brother.......
