Sisters.

I grew up with 3 sisters. Triplet sisters. Who are 21 months older than me. Needless to say, we didn't always get along. Amanda is the oldest. She was born with CP (cerebral palsy). That hinders her body and motor functions but it does not hinder her mind. She is very smart and reads all day every day. Brandy was born next. She is very opinionated and strong willed so we don't always see eye to eye. She is the single mom to Bailee and Cambree. Cristy is the youngest of the triplets. She is the quiet one. She's also the one that I can tell anything to. She is the mother to Jackson...the cutest little man in the world! Growing up I was always referred to as "Oh..you're the triplets younger sister." I was never Emily. And I guess I resented them for that a bit. Like all sisters do growing up, we fought. But when we were friends, we were best friends. I love them and would do anything for them.

Chasity is the oldest of my stepdaughters. She turned 13 this past June. Jacinda will be 9 in March. She has, and probably always will, looked up to Chasity her entire life. And in the past year or 2, Chasity has become much more patient where Jacinda is concerned. It used to make her soooo mad when Jacinda would go in her room or mess with her stuff. Chasity went thru a phase where she didn't really care to be around any of us and just kept to herself. Now that Emma is here, Jacinda will go thru that phase when Emma gets older. She's not going to want Emma going in to her room and getting in to her stuff. I can see it now. But, for now, Jacinda is really really good with Emma. Sometimes, almost too good, haha. I loooooove my girls!

We had her playing in Jacinda's room...of course, Jacinda wasn't here :)
