Addie was meant to be a big sister the same way Julie Andrews was meant to sing and Monet was meant to paint.
Vivi was meant to be Addie’s little sister. There is a love between them that I have never, ever seen before.
If anyone ever needed proof that babies are sent to the families they are mean to be in?
These two are that proof.
This was just one regular afternoon of many in my day to day life.
My heart is so full it hurts.

Can I just come and camp out on your couch and watch these two?? My heart just fills seeing these pictures.

C, I feel we’re such kindred spirits in this journey. I watch Laurel and Violet with the same amazement every day. The age difference doesn’t matter at all — they know they are sisters, the love is so palpable, there’s so much joy.
Today when we were driving home from dinner the two of them were making each other laugh in the backseat…Violet’s hearty, hiccup-like baby giggles and Laurel’s squealing laughter. My heart was bursting…

I totally understand the feeling. Grant can get his sisters to laugh better than anyone (well except when you got Ev to laugh hysterically for the first time).

I’ve always felt lucky to be an only child. (Although I have a much older half brother, he wasn’t at home.) But this makes me long for a sibling. Those girls (and you!) are very lucky.

Seeing these pictures of your two so reminds me of my pair. From the time she was born, I knew my daughter was made to be an eldest, not an only. Four and a half years later, she’s proven to be the child equivalent to a Border collie, constantly herding her brother and whatever other children she can wrangle into her sheep-like herd. She is a constant comfort to her brother and there is no one he loves more than her.

Oh, those pictures make me so happy. I absolutely love Addie’s chipped nail polish and Vivi’s rolls of heavenly baby fat. That baby would be gobbled all day if I was around. So happy for you, you truly deserve it!

Don’t think I’ve ever commented before, sorry about that. 🙂 I found your blog some time ago while in the throes of PPD. Anyway, these are the sweetest pictures I have ever seen! I am recalling your post about when you heard their voices prior to them being here. 🙂 These pictures gave me chills. Like you said, if you ever needed proof, here it is. True soul mates from heaven. I am so happy for you and so grateful for our glorious God. 🙂

so sweet! thank you for sharing those great photos of their bond.
at a mop’s meeting one time during discussion, a mom of 6 with #7 on the way said she felt one of the best gifts you can give your child is a sibling. (& as an only child, i agree!) my son is such a good big brother & his sis a sweet little sister. how i hope someday we are blessed with another!
