Picking sister up from school

Yesterday, Josephine and I went to pick Madalyn up at school.  Josephine saw Madalyn walking towards us down the long hallway.  She started kicking, and scrunching her nose in her unique and precious grin.  Madalyn ran towards her, and Josephine lunged towards her for a big bear hug.  Madalyn hugged her back equally as excited by the greeting.  Madalyn beamed, and I teared up.

Everyday, I point to Josephine, and I tell her this is "your family".  I am your mommy, this is your sister, this is your grandma and pap, these are your dogs, this is your house.  And I do think she knows Madalyn is HER SISTER!

So sweet!
