Sisterly Love

When Chris and I decided to have our second child we couldn't wait to find out what we would be having. Of course for Chris, I think deep down inside he wanted that little boy. So how shocked we were to find out his little "swimmers" had once again created another little girl. As we rode home we talked about how great this would be for Ava. We already knew some things about girls, we wouldn't need to buy too many clothes, and for goodness sakes that "pink" nursery would not need to be repainted. One thing we never talked about was the amount of love Ava would have for Lilly or the way Lilly would light up when Ava walks into the room. I know there are going to be days when they are about to pull each others hair out, but for just this moment it seems "Sisterly Love" couldn't get any sweeter!! Here are some of my favorite photos.


"Ava had waited forever for this day!"

Lilly was 6 days old when Ava made her
a "Crown" for her head. Two princesses live
here now!!

Ava and Lilly posing in the yard!

Lilly's first 4th of July! She was wearing an outfit
that Ava wore as a baby.

Ava happen to be running by when all
of the sudden she realized "Lilly needed a kiss
from sissy".

There is nothing sweeter than a little sister to love. Ava is a great big sis! They are lucky to have each other!
