Lily and Evie

Hi Girls,

What a week it has been!  Our little family is now complete and girlies, you are sisters!  Lily you were so patient through my pregnancy and now Baby Evie is HERE!  You have been so good with her and she loves you a lot.  I could not be prouder of you.

I remember when you two met last Tuesday.  Evie, you had just come out of my tummy and Aunt Heather brought you, Lily, to the hospital.  You came in the room jumped on the bed and said in your sweet voice, "Hi Baby Evie."  Then you did the most precious of things, you kissed Evie.  Evie you were content and happy ready to be snuggled by your big sister.  It was a special moment.

I hope you girls will always be close.  I know you will be different and won't always see eye to eye, but  the Lord gave you each other and that is a special thing.  Loving each other and supporting each other even when you disagree will make you the best of sisters and the best of friends.

The day after you were born Evie, Lily came down to see you again.  You gave her the most special of gifts, a Minnie Mouse swimsuit and towel.  Lily, I remember the joy you had when you opened your present, you were so happy.  You went over to Memaw and Evie and gave your little sister a big hug.  It made me so very happy.  I love you both dearly.

Since we have been home I have started to see your little sisterhood blossom and I cannot wait to watch it grow.  We girls are going to have so much fun together.

You girls are so very important to your Daddy and me.  We want you always to remember that....

You are pretty, you are smart, you are strong, you are kind, and you are important!

Jesus loves you, Mommy loves you and Daddy loves you too!
