Like a Sister

This morning I am so sad. My sister-in-law and her family have been here most of this last week. They just left and I already miss them so much! She is such a strength and support to me. Her family is just adorable. Her older girls took K under their wings and she just was one of them the entire time. CR and C (the only two boys..not including toddler LD) were almost as annoying together as they were inseparable: all normal boy stuff. And G and LD were so cute together as they are only a couple of months apart and so loved all the same toys. LD would say, "Where is my friend, G?" if they weren't with us...even if they were just in the van following us. Last night, as he was going to bed, we explained that the cousins were leaving and he kept repeating, "My friend, G, can't go home. Stay here!" over and over and over. I am glad they love each other.

I am so grateful for family. I am grateful for the gospel that assures that we can be united as a family forever...for I truly claim my sister-in-law as my sister.

Love you guys! Miss you already! Wish we lived closer!
