"God"sisters/Lisa/Developments

I didn't know that there wasn't such a thing as a godsister, because in my family there IS!! I always assumed that if you had godparents, then their children were your godsiblings. For as long as I can remember, Megan has been my godsister (her mom is my godmother). So, when Amelia was born and Megan and Brett became her godparents and Wade and I Lyla's, they became godsisters!! A very special relationship for their whole lives!!

3 generations of godmothers and godsisters on Whidbey Island. This place has been very special to us all. My mom and Robin (in picture) have been going there since they were little. Megan and I have been going there since we were little. This past week was Amelia and Lyla's first time there together. They LOVED the beach and eating the rocks.

For Lyla's birthday, Amelia got her a tutu. We couldn't resist having a photo shoot on the beach. I love this picture because it shows how it went. Lyla wasn't too sure about wearing it and Amelia is more concerned about looking for things to put into her mouth then posing for the camera.

Lisa came up for one of her Tuesday visits. It made me sad because next week will most likely be her last one with Amelia due to me going back to work. Lisa's visits will be in my classroom again. So Lisa, you better come up next week and go to the Lynden Fair with us. You don't want to rob Amelia of that memory do you??
