Sisters...

I was hunting through some old pictures on my computer and ran across this picture. These are my fabulous sisters!! Yes - I have 5 sisters and 3 brothers! I decided I wanted to post this picture so I could show what beautiful sisters I have! This picture was taken back in 2005.(From left to right) Amy, Marci, Julianne, Joy, Mindi and me

It has been a huge blessing in my life to come from a large family. I am grateful to my parents for giving me that opportunity. We have had our issues over the years, but my sisters are some of my very closest friends. (Yes, I love my brothers too - maybe I will blog about them sometime in the future) I know that if I ever needed anything, they would be there right by my side. In fact - they have been there right by my side many times I have been in need. They are there to laugh with, cry with, be dumb with, and the list goes on. They love my kids and talk to them on the phone all the time. They share in the joy when my kids achieve milestones. They cheer them on and encourage them. I am grateful for that. We all want to be the favorite aunt, but pretty much know that Joy will always win out! She is the "coolest" of all of us! (ps Joy - remember to get your blog up and going ASAP!!) Zach tells me that my sisters and I are all pretty crazy - especially when we are all together. Lucky boy will get extra kisses the rest of his life!

I love you, my beautiful sisters!! Thank you for everything you do for me!! I miss you all!!!
