| My crazy nephews! |
I can't believe my nephew is 8 years old! I remember when I first met this little guy--my heart just melted. Gosh, I'm going to miss them--Iowa is so far away!

Anyway, over the two days of travel and being in LA, I was told on three separate occasions that I either sounded like, looked like, or acted like each of my three sisters.

You know, when I was a teenager, I would have cringed if someone told me this. I was my own person; I didn't want to be associated with those weird people.

But now, it sure is a compliment. I love my sisters and brother a whole bunch and we are definitely good friends now that we're older. I hope I can live up to their good (and crazy) names!

How has your relationship with your siblings changed as you've gotten older?
Love that last pic!
ReplyDeleteMy brother and I are 10 years apart, so we really are nothing like each other.
For many years, he resented that I had been like a "second mom" to him. But recently, we've gotten much closer, and I really like him now! :)
Weird how that works!gotta love family!
DeleteFamily is such a weird thing - you don't get to choose them, and you can't really replace them. So we're stuck with them. But that stuck-together thing can be such a blessing!! We were "us against the world" growing up - I have 3 sisters. We're still that way - very close! Now I'm trying to teach my kids the value of family. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome with your sisters!
