Well, I've been noticing as of late Megan and Tess have been buddying around much more. Perhaps it comes more with age and the fact that they did just have 9 months together while Bella was at school all day to find each other. It has been fun for me to watch them grow and find what works for them. They're so much a like I can see how they fell into play quite easily despite the fact that there really was no one else to play with, but me.
I am glad my girls have each other. That they are finding how to get along and not get along as it seems too much of the time. I pray as they get older they will find that safe place in each other, that being sisters will go way beyond relations, but best friends. It's something I dream for them and as I look at this photo of Tess and Megan and remember how they were telling each other secrets I realize they're right on their way.

I think all 3 of your girls do well together and are so cute. I love how Megan is always saying "I want to see my sisters" or "I'm going to go tell my sisters!"
I dream that for my children too. In a way I am glad that they are brother and sister (vs. 2 girls or 2 boys) so that there isn't as much "competition" but then sometimes they "compete" as much as ever - for my attention, against each other, etc. I am much closer emotionally to my brother (eight years younger than me) than to my sister, so I always hold out hope that Luci and Griffin will be close when they are grown.
I think we all secretly want our children to be good friends. We have the same issues in our house (except boys) My middle Luke wants to play with his big brother and Weston always wants to join in. Unfortunately he is still to young to play sports or legos resulting in lots of tears. Such a sweet photo.
it's so sweet that they are finding their relationship together. all of your girls are really something special. i'm sure that as time goes on they will only solidy their connections.
i am in love with that picture. wow! you have such a gift for capturing the feeling of what's going on. amazing. and i love megan's big, brown eyes.
I'm with you, so glad my girls have each other. There is nothing as wonderful as siblings!
That is such a cute picture. It's sweet that Tess and Bella are so close, even with their different personalities. I am sure the gap will close in the next year or so as Megan gets older and starts to understand how to play the games or gets the jokes, etc. Will she be going to preschool this fall?
I worry about my kids for the same reason. Austin and Olivia are SO different. They have a love/hate relationship. They play so well at times then are ripping each other's hair out the next minute. I hope that they will get over this soon and that Ashley will find a place with them.
I am in love with that photo as well. The secret, the intertwined legs, the closeness... beautiful. Sometimes I feel so sad for Eva that she won't have a sister. It's a good thing she adores her big brothers.
This is a dream that I have for my girls as well. Sometimes it seems like they fight more than they get along though. I love the picture of your two girls. So sweet!
I love that picture of the girls. I hope they always stay that close. I miss having my sisters by my side.
Those legs and feet have my heart aching- the look on Tess's face. This is so how I hope my girls want to be- how I hope they naturally evolve towards each other.
I have the same dream for my girls. I love this photo and all it represents about that special relationship.
What a sweet photo! Love it! There is something special about sisters! How fun that they are close!
I'm awaiting a similar shift with my two youngest boys. Henry is getting to an age where he can actually play, and I wonder where allegiances will lie when they are all mature. This is why I always said I'd have an even number of kids, so everyone could have a buddy at the amusement park. But getting that fourth one is proving daunting!
I like your words:)
I am envious- I don't think any of my kids would be found that close to each other right now unless they were throwing punches.
and, of course, the photo is AMAZING!
Even if it doesn't happen as children or even as teenagers, your girls can still be the best of friends as adults. Sisters are the best and I can't imagine life without each of mine.
Oh my goodness, I can finally see this photo...it has taken days visiting for it to pull up for me...what a sweet capture. I love your thoughts, and to see these two girls such good friends. Things I hope and wish for my babies too!
