I have the best sister

She listens to all my crap
She knows me better than anyone
she loves me anyway :)
She used to hold my hand through my crib
she protected me

I know she has my back
no matter what
she is a good example
she is a generous soul

and to top it all off...she found the best herbal tea to make ice tea out of that tastes sorta like the real thing and gave it to me. (sorry people.....I miss it!!!!!...it could be worse, we could be brewing our own beer or something!)
I can't stop drinking it. really....

today I am grateful for my sister Michele

love ya sista!!! oxoxoxoxoxoxo

Short

Short on time...but I wanted to break down the happening for those interested.... not in much of a writing mood...but thanks for checking in with us.
Here it is in all of it's shortness:

Dog is gone....
lame dog owners ( us)
Ella misses dog, cries
Mom bought Ella big stuff toy to make better
helpful

Kids swim
Luke + Hope for 45 mins a day
Ella now a "sea lion"
all improving
sleep soundly :)

We go through trials
Tears are shed
We are never alone
We feel alone anyway
friends and family help
we are blessed
