Three Siblings

Memorial Day weekend Katy and Tom visited from North Carolina, and Kyle visited from New York. It’s rare for all of us to be together outside of a holiday. I love that there were three of us growing up, and now I have three of my own—and for one weekend, we were all together (with James in the NICU, though). I was so happy to see them, and so very thankful for all their help.

While there was lots of baby holding inside, it was pool time for Sophie outside.

To celebrate the boys’ arrivals, Sophie got a great new wooden toy from Katy, Tom and Kyle.

“I don’t believe an accident of birth makes people sisters or brothers. It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage. Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at.” —Maya Angelou
