Tara comes bursting through the house shouting, "Em! Naked Brother's Band is on now!!!!" (What a name. It's really a bunch of little kids performing on a kid's network)
Emily jumps up from the computer. "Really!" She runs to watch it with Tara.
I am humbled by their closeness. Oh yes, they fight. But they are also so loving to each other. If Emily gets a popsicle she makes sure Tara gets one too. When Tara comes home from a school party she has stashed a bit of candy for Emily. "That piece is for sister," she says. Love Love Love that.
Sometimes they hold hands in the grocery store. They remember the names of the other's toys and refer to them by name. I find them together one in the other's bed in the morning and don't have the heart to chastise them for getting out of their beds.
I have watched my mother and her sisters all my life. They are close. What a joy to have a sister or two to spend life with. I love my aunts like I love my mom. My hope and prayer is that Emily and Tara will stay close their whole lives. I hope they have each other's families over for dinner and a movie.
Tara just came in and said that Emily just threw a ball at her head and she is demanding justice. Oh well, so much for sentiment! Back to reality....

awww. this all makes me smile! thanks for sharing!
It happens so fast, doesn't it? One moment they're all cute, the next they're trying to smack each other around. My sisters kidz are just like that :)
BTW, those are great pictures at the top of the post!
oh my goodness these photos are priceless! As is the story. Do you scrapbook? If not- this is a great "page" to start!
Hi Bec, Tom and Missy. Yes, I do scrapbook. But my pages are not as sophisticated as yours are. I am not worthy. :)
LOL
I love that they managed to time their getting-on-each-other's-nerves moment just as you were praising their sweetness to each other. It doesn't negate anything that you said previously, but it certainly makes for an amusing blogpost.
