Oh, How I love my sis...

Just wanted to share an exerpt with you from an e-mail my sister sent to me this weekend.
A little background on the story... Katie had a spelling Bee this past weekend, On Saturday Morning. EARLY. Patti stepped up and came over to hang with all of our kiddos so that Jeff and I could both be there to cheer Katie on. David was not even there to help, and he is a huge help, because he was away on a church retreat. So it was Patti up against 6 under 6!
We needed to leave at 8:00. So Patti loaded up her two kiddos, trucked on over to our house and came bearing donuts for the whole gang, a Pick-me-up snack for Katie after the Spelling Bee, and a smile, all by 7:45.
Here is a little bit of the e-mail she sent me at the end of the day on Saturday. Am I bragging on my sister? ABSOLUTELY. You would too.. she is just that cool.
"I was so stinkin' overwhelmed that 6 little voices were talking to me at exactly the same time at exactly 8AM in the morning. What made it the coolest thing ever was realizing we live in the same town and get to hear all those voices at one time...lots of aunts/sisters/mommies don't live close enough to get this gift. Also, how cool is it that they actually wanted to talk to me??!! "
I know. She ROCKS!

Hey Amie,
A long lost April Panda here. Found your blog again (looks great, btw) and just wanted to say hi. It looks like you and your precious family are doing wonderful and that's music to my ears!!!
It doesn't take long for me to be rolling on the ground when I read your posts. You have such an amazing energy and bring light to dim situations.
Best wishes!!!
