My sister is here for one more day. She is loved. You want to know why? She came down to see blue skies (and us of course). It rained the whole week before she came, it has been sunny the entire week she has been here, rain is forecasted for the 10 days after she leaves. God must know that a woman that is 8 months pregnant with her 5th child and is longing for a little sun needs it. We have played hard every day, any surprise there? No. Meags brought her two youngest, Wil and Hazel, and the little cousins have loved being together. Sawyer idolizes Wil. Hazel can't get enough of Jane and her make up. The swing set we traded our old washer for has come in mighty handy. It is set up in our courtyard, taking up a great deal of space, but well worth it. Wil, Sadie, Hazel, and Sawyer have spent hours playing outside in our beautiful weather.
Story- yesterday Isabella and I took Ellie out on her walk. Ellyn seemed excited until we started walking and then she was teary and trying to go back to the house. Half way down the hill behind our house we heard Sadie and Wil yelling to us to wait and they came sprinting down the hill (they had been playing on the swing set). With a huge smile Ellyn held out her hand for her Sadie and all of the sudden everything was right with the world again. Ellyn absolutely loves Sadie, she even imitates some of her actions and cocks her head this way and that to make eye contact with Sad while we are playing. It is beautiful and poignant, to know how much responsibility to be a good sister lies on those skinny seven year old shoulders. Man, I love my girls. They are so good. I am so blessed. God gave me everything when He gave me my family.
