sisters

I was looking back at past pictures and found this one of when Laine was born. It just melted my heart. Paige was so excited to meet her. She was proud to be a big sister. Her cousins even sang "for she's a jolly good fellow" and carried her into the room to meet Laine. Even though sometimes they fight they are best buddies. Don't let anyone mess with her sister or Paige will be after them. It cracks me up how protective they are of each other. The can push each other's buttons but if anyone bullies one or the other they totally stick up for each other. I hope they remain close like my sister and I as they grow.

Just sharing a lemonade with sissy

Last week we spent the week at Lake Michigan for our last 2008 summer trip. We got to visit Glen Arbor and a store/restaurant Cherry Republic http://www.cherryrepublic.com/. It has been a tradition each year that we look forward to. It is everything cherry including wine, candles, butter, salsa, dips, candy (our favorites are cherry sours and dark chocolate covered cherries) and so much more. The girls shared a cherry lemonade during lunch. They had awesome Cherry Chicken sandwiches and pitas with yummy cherry dip. They had Cherry pop too. It was so good!! Looking forward to next summer to enjoy it again. The memories are priceless. But for tonight we are preparing for the first day of second grade. Oh! What to wear?
