The Love of Sisters

Seriously, I love watching Kailyn with Jovie. She always wants to play with her. Whenever Jovie is in the chair and Kailyn is watching a show she will push the chair up to the TV and either stand or sit next to Jovie. When I ask her what she is doing she replies "just watching a show with Jovie." (So cute!) Kailyn always wants to help hold the bottle in Jovie's mouth or pat her back to help her burp. Lately Kailyn has been trying to make Jovie smile at her and Jovie is eager to do just that. I have loved watching this sisterly love grow in the short 3 months that we have had Jovie, but yesterday I knew it was a bond that will never be broken when from the kitchen I heard Kailyn ask Jovie, "Jovie, you want my purple-ee?" Now, for those of you who know, Kailyn loves her purple-ee, she sleeps with it, travels with it, takes it on long car rides. And for her to offer it to Jovie almost blew me away!!! She really does love Jovie. I hope this bond continues to grow and become stronger because I love my sisters to death we are such great friends and I hope that Kailyn and Jovie are the same because I wouldn't have it any other way. Yeah for Sisters!!!!

I am Thankful!

Yeah, I meant to post this on Thanksgiving, but I was having too much fun with family and friends and the Turkey pinata. And then too busy the rest of our weekend in Pittsburgh! We had so much fun with Chris, Jaimee and family. It was great to be able to go and visit with them and their kids and their friends! They are awesome!
Anyway, to the point of this post... One day I was sitting on our couch feeding Jovie and watching TV and feeling a little overwhelmed when my eyes wandered upward to a picture of me and Jeremy, one of Kailyn and Jovie and my 'Give Thanks' sign. It was quite a comfort that day because although sometimes I feel overwhelmed, quite tired, and missing my husband (Med School) I realized at that moment, again, how blessed I am and how thankful I am to be where I am right now with our little family and Heavenly Father watching over us and our amazing families who support us in our life and journey here in Tennessee. What more could I ask for? And I know that Jeremy would agree so I guess I should say, what more caould we ask for? We are so blessed and we are so, so thankful for those blessings!
