Summer time in the city.

Isn't my sister the cutest? I know right. This is from a couple of weeks ago. We busted out the sprinkler and water gun and played in the hot sun.
Amelie is four now...blows my mind everytime I think about it. One day I will watch her graduate from kindergarten, then 6th grade, then junior high, then the big high school graduation. The other day she said "I can't wait to 'con-gradu-macation' from high school. we will go to chilis with Joshie and Jordan. then i want to go to college like you". She is amazing. We are really different but i think if we were too much alike we would hate each other. Amelie is strong minded(more so than me) and has a will as strong as a thousand oxen. She will go so far in her life, she throws caution to the wind and has hope in absolutely everything. I want all things great for her. Sometimes I get to caught up in my crazy life; that I lose track of time and how much I don't have with her. She says it way to frequently when I come home "Lets (insert activity), I have lots of time. I keep it right here in my pocket". She is something else. Amelie is the greatest thing that has come into my life, from the moment my parents told me I was going to have a sibling to the day she was born. She loves me and I love her. I need to keep track of this time I have with her, because all time with our loved ones on this earth is limited. I am going to savor every bit of it.
