Lord And Hearth

It has come round again.  SISTER DAY is here.

NEW ITEMS!!! I’ve added a special movie.  Tried to do a SISTER DAY post on PaperScreams, but couldn’t put up the movie part, so it’s here: Click : I LOVE MY FIVE (or right-click and save-as since it’s usually easier)

OH, and one more for MOLLY!  She knows this one.  This is OUR song from IguanaLand!:  Wonderful!

There are a ton of holidays in the world, ones for Moms and Dads and Veterans and Secretaries and Births and Weddings and just about anything else you can imagine.  SISTER DAY never made it to the official list of important days.  At least not until Molly, Roen, Gwendollyn and Joscelin came around. Now we have SISTER DAY.

It’s truly one of the very best days in the world.  This is one that is just about family.  It’s not for presents or for hard work or for anything other than celebration of the incredible importance of being a sister. Having younger sisters means Molly gets TONS of practice for when she grows up and becomes a Mommy.  Being biggest is pretty hard to manage sometimes, with all the hard stuff that you could really use an older sister to help you figure things out. Having an older sister means that Roen is able to ask for help with that impossible question in the homework.  That’s the good stuff.  When you can’t make it work on your own, there is always a sister around.  Even little bitty Joscelin helps out sometimes. Being in the middle is tough, of course, as any Roen or Gwendollyn will tell you, since you have to be big and are stuck being little at the same time. You don’t always like the same games that big kids do, and coloring all day long isn’t quite as fun as playing the GameBoy.  But usually there’s a little sister right there to watch you play the games, and that’s the special time you can share big kid stuff. I’m proud of you girls.  You have really turned out SMART and big and beautiful, and though I love birthdays (silly hats and really big dinners), I love Sister Day the most.  SISTER DAY celebrates ALL FOUR OF YOU, all together, the best collection of kids any Daddy could ever hope for. I love your short hair.

I love your long hair.

I love your crazy faces

I love your wonderful colors.

I love how you monkey around (specially when I’m around).

I love your Choky Milk A Cup (can I have some please).

And none of these things would be half as wonderful and fun if you weren’t all together doing all these things.  Everybody knows Popy Tail.  Everybody knows FaFee! Everybody loves Choky Milk.  Everybody loves the Double Stevie Wonder Elvis Bobble Head^(r). All of you, talking and playing at once makes my heart warm and happy. So I’m glad you’re celebrating SISTER DAY, even if I can’t be there.  I’ll make it for the one next year, but don’t you forget how important this holiday is.  Each of you is most wonderful to me and Mama.  All together, you are a hundred times wonderful (infinity plus one!). One is fun, Four is MORE! Friends can be forever, but you’re not guaranteed on that.  Gameboys don’t stick around forever either.  Favorite teachers are traded for new ones all the time.  Clothes and toys and even pets wear out.  But sisters are for LIFE!  You don’t lose ‘em and you can always come back to them even if you move around the world. I love you all!  Will see you soon!  I’m celebrating right here for you.  I’m praising the Lord for His wonderful gift to me and your Mama.  Happy SISTER DAY.
