Proud of my sister

Many of you know how much I look up to my sister. In the past few weeks I have been amazed at what a wonderful woman she is.

A few weeks ago I watched Natalia's birth and all I could think about was that my sister was now a mom. I am proud of my sister because it was an amazing delivery that started at 11:00pm. I was waiting for it to last hours, as I have heard many stories of people pushing for hours. I was amazed to see Natalia at 11:35pm all happy and alert, she barely even cries.

More amazingly, is how strong my sister was and how much I know she is going to be a good mom. I have watched Natalia laugh and cry, and my sister patiently taking care of her. They glow together and look alike and then she makes a JP face and it all comes together. I am glad to look up to Merci, as she probably taught me a lot of what I know and still teaches me everyday.
Merci is my chocolate chip and I am glad to be a part of her life, but I am even happier to be her friend. So I leave you with some Natalia smiling pictures.
