Sisters...

I have decided to enter the blogging world. I get a big kick out of reading my sister Morgan's blogs. It makes me smile to see what is going on in her world that day or week..to see her grocery lists, cooking experiences, learning the difference between the sun and the moon (I am not too sure she really knows or is just saying she does) and her pregnancy woos.
It is hard for me to have my baby sister miles and miles and miles away, reading about her life makes it seem like she is a lot closer. It is crazy to see her growing up, from my baby sister, to a rebellious jail loving teen, a young women, to a wife and now to a soon- to- be mother. Oh how fast time goes by!!
Growing up with two sisters and me being the oldest was always interesting. There were always fights about clothes being borrowed (mainly between Kat and Morg), arguments over the car and etc. Katie and Morgan most of the time got along, I on the other hand had an attitude about everything at that age and was very difficult to get along with. I remember my mother always telling me..."Be nice to your sisters, they will become your best friends." I can honestly say today that my sisters are my best friends. I look forward to talking to them and seeing them. It was exciting to go through my pregnancy with Katie, with her being pregnant at the same time. We talked daily if not more. Bob couldn't understand why we needed to talk to each other all the time. You can't explain it, but it is the sisterly bond we have with each other. I enjoy talking to my sisters, I feel now that I can share anything with them, my deepest darkest fears, secrets, concerns and tears. It is now even more exciting to be mothers along with Kat and sharing our child's new developments and can't wait for morg to join the "club". I don't know what I would do without my sisters, I look up to them. They each have turned into such beautiful young ladies that stand for such greatness and are examples to me. I hope they are proud to call me their sister bc I am so lucky to have great sisters.
Motherhood- how rewarding! I am not SUPERmom, far far from it. I just want Av to look at me and think that I am SUPER. I was giving Av a bath tonight doing her nightly routine and watching her splash around in the tub looking up at her momma with those big wide-eyed eyes, she melts my heart! She looks up to us for every need she has in this world. The Lord sure does think highly of Brian and I...hehe...to have blessed us with such a smart and beautiful little girl. I only want to do right by her. It is hard to describe the love you have for something that has been in your life for just a short time, it overwhelms me at times. I was telling Brian tonight that if all we do in our lives is live paycheck to paycheck living in a small apt penniless and have what we do...our little family, then I would still be the most blessed woman in the world. It is amazing to watch the most perfect baby in the world experience the world around her...Watching it through her eyes! I live for every smile, every giggle and every snuggle! If I never do anything else in my life right...I hope I do "motherhood" right! I hope I make Avery proud to be her mommy!
