I am a thief, but I love these pics...

"Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters. Never had to have a chaperone, no sir, 'I'm here to keep my eye on her....' Carin', sharin' every little thing that we are wearin'..."

I've been thinking a lot about my family the last couple days. I think mostly because I spent Easter with Peter's family rather than with the Cole Crew. That was a new, different experience for me. This is an exciting time in my life, and it's also a changing time. I'm realizing more and more the blessing of family. My sis, Jeanette, is leaving the area soon, and that's hit me pretty hard, too. There's nothing like having a sister for a friend. I didn't realize how much I've loved having her near, even if I didn't get over to D.C. to see her as much as I wanted to. She will be missed, but I know she will be happy, and that is so very important to me. Life is full of changes, and once I adjust, I'm fine with them. *teary smile*

Getting to know Peter's family is new, but it's been pretty neat so far:-) They are a fun bunch with lots of hugs and laughter to go around. They are a blessing to me, and they often remind me of my family in Illy.

I pray you each had a blessed Easter.
