A Sister-ific Post
Today is baby Samuel’s due date, but he is not making his appearance yet, so I’ve decided to celebrate the bonds of sisterhood that Ellie and Lucy share right now. Sure they fight like cats and dogs several times a day, but then Lucy will look at Ellie and say “Your my best friend right Ellie?” I know that Samuel’s arrival will change our family dynamic. This will be great and new, but a part of me is sad that it may change the truly beautiful relationship my girls share. My prayer is that loving a new baby brother will strengthen their love of each other. Sisters are a special thing.
Things that make my heart smile about Ellie and Lucy:
- Calling each other “hun” and “darling”
- Loving to wear matching clothes
- Loving to sleep in the same room and missing each other when one is gone
- Playing make believe together for hours everyday
- Loving to hug, kiss, and snuggle together
- Looking out for each other against outside forces (mom, dad, chickens)
Here’s a quick look at some of my favorite sister pictures from the past several months.

This was a great tribute to the girls. And, what a great way to stay occupied while waiting for Samuel. Great pictures…love that Ellie makes Lucy wear the frog costume. I hope we can get together more often…maybe when you’re not working… our girls would have SO much fun together.

Love the slide show and the notes about the girls! It probably already has changed the house to have Samuel there but a brother is such a special thing too! Amazing times in life huh? Glad to see a post and the girls!!
