Siblings and an "Over the Moon" Referral

Do you all ever have those "Calgon-take-me-away" moments when the kids are bickering and pestering each other just for sport?  I know I have them in my household.   And then, there are moments when they swimmingly and tenderly get along.  Those are the moments and memories I love to capture...

Ava "reading" to her big brother.  And wow, what a story she made up :)
Big brother hanging on every word!
A proud big brother!
Speaking of siblings, cutie-patootie Leah is about to get a precious mei mei.  My sweet and dear friend Melissa, just got the referral for her beautiful daughter Kate.  Isn't she adorable?
Please visit Melissa's blog "Over the Moon"  to wish her well and follow her journey.  Melissa is eloquent, positive, and always optimistic.   You'll just love reading her blog.  Melissa, congratulations to your beautiful family!!

First of all those photos of Ava and Jake are so precious. I always thought I'd have a boy first as the relationship between a big brother and little sister is SO special...What a sweet moment you caught. Your kids are so lucky to have one another.

Next I have to say, thanks for sharing your friend's news. I love hearing of happy referral days:)
