Have I ever mentioned how much I love (love love love) being a big sister?
Lilly got a teepee for her seventh birthday a few weeks ago and these two turkeys dressed up and played indian all day long.
And Mariam has taken to randomly giving me big hugs and telling me that I'm beautiful just when I need it.
Life lately has been a flurry of college searching and preparation, and while I'm excited to begin a new chapter of life, oh, it's going to be so hard being away from my family. Even though I'm a grouch about it sometimes, it's such a joy to watch the littles grow up.
And in watching them grow up, I am really, truly looking forward to the day when I have a little fam of my own. I'm only sixteen years old and that might be a strange thing to say, but I cannot wait to be a wife and mama.
Gosh, my family is the greatest blessing I could ever ask for.
mhmmm yes. :)
ReplyDeleteyes, love this.
ReplyDeletegosh, yes. :) i'm the exact opposite--the youngest of 9, but i love my family to pieces. and life is an amazing adventure. hard, painful + at times lonely, but still amazing and worth living. :) love this, Carlotta. <3
ReplyDeletexx.
That us too cute. <3 Omg. Love that. THEIR FACES!! They look so serious. :P And yes. I can't wait till I am a mom too. :)
ReplyDeleteAw. this is so cute.

this is so sweet. being a big sister is such a blessing.
ReplyDelete( the alcove )
yes yes yes
ReplyDeleteand goodness no, that's not a strange thing to say! i'm sixteen and i've wanted to be a wife and mama for as long as i can remember. i have friends sometimes who say, "you really want to stay at home with your kids?" or "you want to have babies so soon? why not wait and enjoy grownup life childless for awhile." yes, i will be grateful for whatever life God gives me, and i will rejoice in the years i spend single and without my own little family! but my prayer is that someday, i will be the somebody that a man will be glad to come home to, and the somebody that a few of the children on this world will be glad to call "mama".
and i digress. :)
oh man. carlotta you are so blessed. and they are absolute dollls :)
ReplyDeletethose photos are so cute :) Being a big sister really is such a blessing.

Yep, yep, yep. I LOVE being a big sister to my two littles. Even when I get frustrated with them because I'm impatient and selfish. I wouldn't ever trade it for anything in the world.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your two indians are the cutest.
oh i needed this. life with ten siblings is crazy and sometimes i think, "i can't wait to go to college and get out of here". but you're right, my family is the best thing i have and i love them so much. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. these photos make me think of peter pan, for some reason. :)
How absolutely precious can this be? :)
ReplyDeleteThose two are the cutest. I wish I had a younger sibling (or two)!
ReplyDeleteThey make this post even better. How CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I'll ever leave my siblings. I totally understand your sentiments. ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, Lily and MeMe are adorable. Just in case you didn't know. ;)
hugs,

Absolutely Gorgeous! It makes me want to come and play indian warrior princess too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love love love being a big sister.
I'm a little sister, and trust me -- having an older sibling at home is lovely, but it's even more lovely to watch them spread their wings, follow their dreams, and know that you will be next.
ReplyDeleteOh how precious. Yes, sometimes I just stop amidst the busy and look at how fast my siblings are growing, makes me want to take more conscious efforts to spend time with them. And oh yes, I look forward to being a wife and mother someday too if it's the Lord's will. :) I don't think it's strange at all that you're already thinking about your future. I think it shows a growth of character that is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, friend

your affection for family inspires me. and no wonder, when they're so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute. Your going to college next year at 16?
ReplyDeleteI'd most likely be going the fall of 2014, so no, not at 16. But since I'm a junior, I kinda need to start getting everything organized...
Deletethis is super precious. I've been trying to take time out to spend time and just chat with my little sisters more, and they're just hilarious and adorable and smart and wonderful. being a big sister is the best. :)
ReplyDeleteso you've decided to go to college after all? cool.
ReplyDeletewhat are you majoring in and which colleges are you looking at?
Yes, I have decided to go! I'm looking into majoring in visual communications (specifically advertisement)...there's a local private college I'm thinking about, as well as a couple liberal arts colleges (like Hillsdale). :)
Deletedude. a visual communications major is soo you.
Delete:)
i'm pretty sure you'll enjoy college.
and sometimes it's good to leave family.
i know its cliche, but absence truly makes the heart grow fonder.
Your sisters are two gorgeous little things. (Sisters are the best.)
ReplyDeleteI hear you! All this college stuff is getting to be somewhat overwhelming...
Stay strong. ;)

So true...how precious you're documentaring beautiful memories like this, that you can look back to in the future.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to be a wife and mother too, one of life's great joys for us! :)

indian warrior princess. so, so darling. being a big sister is simply magical and wonderful.
ReplyDeletelove this post! being a big sister is definitely a HUGE blessing. :)
ReplyDeletesaw your above comment -- and if you're talking about the Hillsdale in Michigan (not sure if there's any other), my goodgood friend Bailey is a freshman there and she LOVES it. if you started seriously considering it, I could give you her email or Facebook information so you could chat with her about it. :) and she actually is a blogger too. :)
These pictures are just lovely, so is your blog. :) Thanks for sharing. Family truly is the best!

Your sisters are adorbs! Family is truly a great blessing, I could not picture my life with out my siblings. Stay Strong! :)
ReplyDeletethey are SO sweet! even though my family gets on my nerves sometimes i love them like crazy. :)
ReplyDeleteYour sisters are worth a lot - I can just see it from the way you speak of them. And of course, from the photographs, too -
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hug these girls one day. And maybe sit in the teepee, if Lilly's cool with that.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't stress too much about college and such right now! I'm a senior and still figuring things out, along with most of the other people in my grade. But I'm so so glad you're excited about your dreams. You should be. :)
