Crying was inevitable

My eyes are red and swollen and my nose is stuffy.

I just dropped my sister off at the airport. She extended her stay with us and she and her baby have been here for almost a month.

You'd think we would be sick of each other but it was just the opposite, having her here for so long made it so much harder to say good-bye.
How blessed I am to have a sister who is also my dearest friend (apart from Trev, luv ya honey ;)).

Melissa and I basically spent the last 3 weeks sitting around the house taking care of babies, crafting, cooking, nursing, and talking about life, about motherhood, about faith, about our families, about ... everything.

Melissa, I will treasure the memories of these past few weeks forever. I don't know what I'd do without you in my life... I just love you so much.

P.S. Jeff, you are my hero. Thanks for sharing your wonderful wife and sweet baby with us for such a long time. We enjoyed them more than you will ever know and I know you must have missed them dearly. :)

How lucky that Melissa got to stay to visit for so long! I bet you guys had a great time and I love that your babies are so close in age.

Kathryn, my dear sweet AMAZING sister! I cannot begin to express how much you mean to me and spending that time with you did for me and my mental and spiritual well being!
What Kathryn failed to mention is that thanks to her I have a new Happy, sleeping baby! {sigh}
LOVE YOU!!!
