Sisterly Love

It must be nice to have a sister. Most of the time. My two girls are only 19 months apart. We weren't really planning to have our kids that close together. It took many, many months to get pregnant with Nicole. We reasoned that by the time we got pregnant, they'd be the perfect distance apart. Voila--I think we got pregnant the moment those words came out of our silly little mouths! Turns out, it was the best thing that could've happened. These two are best buddies. Most of the time.

Here they are "sunbathing." Notice Nicole has very little skin showing. That's how we sunbathe in May around here. Now, Ellea, she's part polar bear, so she's never cold.

Don't know who came up with this brilliant game, but they went around and around our driveway many times. Taking turns, of course. The dogs thought it was great fun also. The girls tried to hurry past me every time they saw the camera, but they know everything is fair game for blogging!
