And it's so worth it! Just played "blocks" with the kids today....and "cars" in the bathtub with Abbie...and it all took but 45 mins of my day but meant so much to them. I love my life. Haha. Love my little chubs. Have fun with Emily. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807980848059392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459100849457166931.post-58075702181938262552015-02-26T17:40:28.403-08:002015-02-26T17:40:28.403-08:00Thanks Auntie Donna.

But it's hard already being faithful as a sister! haha. <br />You know, your comment just reminded me of a conversation I had with mom not that long ago. She was talking about her sisters, and I was saying as a little girl how I view all my aunts differently than I do now as an adult. And just how precious you have become to me and much a value your wisdom and encouragement and compassion. Mom said she too viewed her sisters differently as a child...but loves you now just as she did then. She mentioned how she remembers when you would come home at night sometimes and take the time to help her with her homework and would color geography maps with her, and work on math. It was really sweet. It's so encouraging to know that even with a huge age difference we older siblings can still influence our younger siblings and be an encouragement to them. Thanks for your thoughts Auntie Donna!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807980848059392927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459100849457166931.post-44271712331151655122015-02-25T18:50:50.031-08:002015-02-25T18:50:50.031-08:00So important to be reminded to spend TIME and sacr...So important to be reminded to spend TIME and sacrifice a 'chunk' of our own for some one else, and for a relationship. Emily is so much quality time that if I haven't played with her for a while, forget being 'buds' anymore... keeps me motivated. haha LOVE being an Aunt. It is somehow easier when they are so much younger.... good reminder Toni!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02352670695512423955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459100849457166931.post-35312118841229406022015-02-25T18:25:22.439-08:002015-02-25T18:25:22.439-08:00This is so sweet...I remember playing with Rita an...This is so sweet...I remember playing with Rita and Louise when we were little...I was the oldest (8 and 5 years respectively) so as I became a teenager I found less and less time to "play" with them, and looking back, that is sad. But when we did spend that quality time together I know it created a bond that has grown and become even stronger now as adults. I was not living at home when Rosanne was born, but in spite of that, all of us sisters have become best friends for life. So precious...and you have 6 siblings that you are able to bond with! You are so discerning about how little ones grow to know and trust you...you will make a terrific mom one day!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573426772223041079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459100849457166931.post-9550724803375920452015-02-25T16:29:57.042-08:002015-02-25T16:29:57.042-08:00Hee hee hee!

I've experienced this over and over again as an auntie. It's so easy to be selfish and not sacrifice the time.
