My sister Beth is moving back to Missouri after living here 3 days short of 1 year. I can't express in words how much I've loved having her around. Not just for support for me, but for what she has given to the kids having their aunt around.
Allie loves every time she comes over. She wants her to 'fly' her, which means anything from bouncing her around on her lap to holding her over her head and flying around the room. Beth taught Allie to count to ten by playing hide and go seek with her and playing this game where Beth would hold her in front with Al's legs around her waist and then on the count of three would flip her backwards and then pull her up again. I'm not sure which of them loved that more.
Beth has been fantastic with Adrian. She is always quick to do anything to take care of him. She even gave him a bath last night as well as got up with both kids during the night so I can sleep (you begin to see why I love having her here?!). She love tickling him and makes it her goal each day she has been here to get him to belly laugh. She definitely took the stress out of me being able to leave the kids with her because I knew they are in good hands as she loves them almost as much as I do.
Did I mention that she was always helping me either make and or clean up after dinners, would clean the cat box if it needed it (which it usually did) and even scrubbed my bathtub for me? A more helpful and caring sister never did exist. I have been truly blessed to have her here this last year and don't know how I'm going to be able to say goodbye on Sunday.
I know she will try to come every few months until she feels she can move back, but we will miss her terribly in between. We love you Beth!
