sisters

I had the opportunity to have my two sisters come recently. This is why my blogging has been so sporadic. It was so fantastic. First my sister June came. She is a runner so we went on a five mile run every morning at 5:00. Then we would drink wheat grass smoothies and talked until the kids arose. She is an incredible mother to eight children so I love to drink from her overflowing spring of knowledge. We then spent the morning playing with the children and having paddle boat races in the pond. When my sisters and I get together we love to create things. We wanted to focus on our kids in the daytime but at night we would sew to our hearts content. June is a master and we created darling Easter outfits for all my nieces and my boys. I've posted a few of them.

She would make delicious Chinese food for my family and I would entertain the children by helping them do macrame at the table while reciting nursery rhymes.

Then Keri came. She is a Pilate's instructor so she helped me perfect my routine and we had a ball. We worked on this charming table and chairs for our two little boys Damon and Zane to play puzzles on. We laughed as we made little mistakes here and there but it turned out okay. We also had the idea to make a pie safe for my grandmother whose 99th birthday was on Saturday. We tried to replicate the one she had in her home growing up. As we punched the tin which can be rather tedious, we reminisced about this and that. We talked about husbands, children and womanhood. I learn so much from my wise sisters.
