I love this picture that my sister took of my daughters.

Movie night. We watched the Narnia movie finally. Notice the empty chairs? Yes, my kids all prefer the safety and comfort of mom’s and dad’s laps when things get a little tense.
My BIL, Bill, and my nephew and neice Jack and Morgan.

And my sister, Barbara. Barb and I are in close contact all the time. We talk to each other at least once or twice a week on the phone. I hadn’t seen her in seven months, though. Just over a year ago, she embarked on a life-changing mission to lose weight. When I saw her last Thanksgiving, she had lost over 60 pounds, and I thought she looked good. When I saw her last Monday, I started crying. She’s down over 125 pounds total and has only 25 more to reach her goal. She looks awesome and I’m so happy for her. She is half the woman she used to be…isn’t that great?
