learning to love each other

these two love each other. passionately.

but don’t assume it is all personality. they actually like a good fight.

but every day we encourage them. we tell them, “your sissy is your best friend.”

we tell addy, “you protect your baby sister.”

we tell mercy, “if you are scared, your big sister will take care of you.”

and it is really starting to pay off.

they love. love. love. each other.

and it makes my heart so happy. and thankful.

this morning mercy woke up at the very wrong hour of 5:45am.

i heard addy say to mercy, “it is only 5:43 mercy. and our clock has to say 7. wanna snuggle in my bed with me until 7?”

they keep me busy that is for sure. and i am sure one day when i have teenagers, i will gain a few more gray hairs.

but i am so, so, so thankful the Lord gave us sisters.

taxi ride to dinner, bus ride home!

cherry picking!
