because we promised....

We promised when we took Red into our home that we would raise him knowing his biological sister. Yesterday we got together for her 4th birthday. She is just 10 months older than he is. It was really something! Red doesn't get a chance to play with anyone his age because of where we live. On the rare occasion he is with other kids their mother's sort of pull their kids away from him - he's usually bigger and faster than they are (see a previous post where he was kicked out of the nursery). Anyway, these two played together for three hours! Their voices were the same, their laugh was the same! They both ran fast and were constant movement. Their behavior and mannerisms were the same. They completely ignored their older sisters and just were together. It was really something to see. She is not any taller than he is - but he is huskier. Honestly - it was like they were twins.

I read this post with an overwhelming sense of, "I wish these two could live together, in YOUR HOUSE!" They look fantastic together.
