National Sibling Day 2013

April 11th is National Sibling Day!  Come to think of it, it's also our dog's birthday but I digress...Today we honor our beloved brothers and sisters and we recognize the impact that they have had on our lives.
 
My sister has been the single most influential individual in my life and I am incredibly grateful for her love and support.  Likewise, my daughters share a closer relationship than I ever could have imagined.  Witnessing the bond between siblings is one of the richest rewards a parent can experience and my heart overflows with joy daily when I watch my girls interact with one another.
In honor of National Sibling Day (and because I'm currently obsessed with this One Republic song), I assembled a little slide show.  This one just may be my favorite slide show to date:

Happy National Sibling Day (and Happy Birthday Lillian)!

  10. I've never heard that song before, love it! When I got pregnant with my son so quickly after my daughter was born someone told me 'the greatest gift you can give your child is a sibling'. I'm not sure there is anything more accurate than that! I agree, favorite video to date!

  11. So I'm a little slow and JUST got around to reading this post and watching the slide show. When I saw your younger photos I could not believe how much Merryn resembles you! And all along I thought she looked like Travis (well,a much cuter and more feminine Travis). Beautiful!

  12. So I'm a little behind and am just not getting around to catching up on your blog an watching this slide show. Seeing your younger photos I could not believe how much Merryn resembles you! And all this time I thought she looked more like Travis (a much prettier, more feminine Travis, of course). Beautiful!
