Saturday morning, I heard their chatter spilling out from across the house. From her room, then his, and back to hers. Words tumbling over each other, laughter, and occasionally a squeal. I have counted my blessings again and again that they share this friendship... and once, twice again, over the weekend. I think I knew that they would miss each other, but what I didn't realize was how much I would miss their togetherness...
These blessings spun around my heart all day yesterday, but I write them, to seal them in, on a Tuesday...
-a wonderful anniversary celebration
-the excitement i read in her text as we were on our way
-just wrapping our arms around each other
-seeing her be wrapped in her daddy's arms
-her happy conversations on the way home
-the marching pride preview
-her joy at seeing her brother marching with a bass drum
-his smile from the field when he spotted his sister
-passing notes in church (me, too Kerry! me, too!)
-celebrating 61 with a beach picnic and bright safari cupcakes
-listening to her "talk zoo" with her gramma
-cousins digging for coquinas
-safe travel, to and from, and back again
-his successful first day of junior year

You never realize until they have moved out just how much they are a part of you. Yes, on the sibling love and laughter. It's one of the things I love most about having Jacob come home and Rebekah come over. Their interaction is music to my heart. Passing notes in church? Ha!
Isn't it amazing how things change with a little distance? I'm so happy all four of you had a nice visit together....pure love!
Passing notes in church? You are very naughty!
Happy Anniversary! You write so wonderfully about your children and how special they are close - it's a gift to them and to you. I have to admit to passing a note or two on the back of a church bulletin a time or two or five or twelve... : )
