I love my sister.

The New York Times recently published an article about why people with sisters are happier. Incidentally, it was my sister who emailed the article to me and as a person who has a (wonderful!) sister, I can definitely concur with the findings of the study!
It was very timely, since I just got back from visiting Summer in Utah. I watched Maren for them while Matt and Summer went on a little trip, threw Summer a baby shower, and then we hung out for the rest of the week. SO FUN.
Maren and Tate *mostly* enjoyed each other. They were always interested in the other's activities, but could also become annoyed when asked to share toys, etc. They are only 6 months apart, which made for a very messy house.Matt and the kids
We even got a chance to see Logan! He came up and visited me while Summer and Matt were away. Reading to Maren...
And then we went to Provo to see him in his opera. He was the bad guy, as evidenced by the bushy eyebrows that were still painted on!At Gardner village (you'll notice that Maren's favorite accessory is her hat - she always asks for it.)
And we even got to see Matt's family for dinner and they were kind enough to watch Tate a couple of times!
