Dear Siblings

I have been sick as a DOG this weekend! Strep and taken over and kicked my butt. I'm finally starting to feel better, you know when you start to feel better enough to realize that your house as completely fallen apart while you have been out, yet you still don't have the energy to clean it?! Ya that's me today. So I have been trying to feel productive cause honestly I can not watch another minute of TV, and that says something. haha So I have been going through old pictures getting ready to start on baby books. I came across this picture! 
Dear Siblings,
         I don't know what it is, but I will never be able to look at this picture with a dry eye. Although not all of you are pictured in it, I see you all when I look at it. This picture sums up so many feelings I could never discribe. My life had fallen apart just a few weeks before this was taken, and you were all there for me like you always are. It's hard to explain to outsiders, but we have a very close family, freakishly close as Jeff likes to say. ;) When we need each other we are there! This was my first day home from the hospital with Paisley, and some would have wanted to jump into bed in a quite house. Not me, I was so excited to finally be around all of you. I sat on the couch and did nothing while I just enjoyed all of you smoothing my babies. I will never forget the phone call I had with each of you as I called to tell you that Paisley was ok, each conversation was perfect for our relationship. Lindsey you cried with me and then you said Amy I knew it would be ok, I love you! You were so strong during all of that, I needed you more than anything! Kelsey you cried and I cried I'm not sure many words were said, but with us most times we don't need words. We are in each others head. Austin you are TOUGH but when it comes to family you are a softy I thought you had heard me wrong you were crying so hard, but no, your heart it so big that is breaks even with the best of news. Tiffany, you were cheerful and positive as you always are and that is just what I love about you! Mason you are a man of few words, I'm pretty sure I actually just sent you a text haha I love our relationship and I refuse to let you be the little brother who gets left out cause he is too cool for his old married siblings :) your stuck with us!!
Seriously not sure where all these sappy feelings are coming from, but I just want you all to know that I wouldn't want it any other way. You are all my best friends!
Love,
The Emotional One
(Amy)
