On Being Big Sisters

As you already know, we welcomed our baby sister to the world last Thursday. We've been waiting for this day for a LONG time and are just elated she's finally here. Of course we had the obligatory shirts announcing our new job titles, but even without seeing our shirts, there was no doubt she belongs with us. We plan to show her the ways of the world and take the best care of her!

Here we are singing her "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and wooing her to sleep :
This Big Sister job is very serious business.

We decided we'd share Charity for a little bit with our Grandma (who is here helping us out during all of the chaos!). Even though we gave her a short turn to hold her, we made sure everyone knew that this is really our show and we need to hold her the most!

Knowing her hospital room was probably pretty boring, we each colored her a picture to say "welcome!"

This was actually the very first moment we met Charity and were we excited!! This picture shows all four ladies our Daddy is so lucky to have in his house! And the coolest part of all? We were ALL born on the 23rd of our birthday months.

“For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.” ~Christina Rosetti

With all of our love for our new baby sister,
Elyse and Felicity
