I have been thinking a lot about my sister and her family out in Seattle in the last weeks. As I sit before my computer and wait for edits to process, I thought I would post these for a sister whom I know had a very big role in helping one of my recent weddings. Where would we be without our sisters?

Always welcome
These 5 are always welcome in our home. With our combined 5 kids, somehow it was quieter than our normal weekends with just two. And they came with sleeves rolled up and ready to work.
A whole painted living room, many yummy meals and a few nice outings in Providence later and we sadly had to bid them farewell. Our kids keep asking when they will be back, we are wondering the same thing. 
Jeesh. Parents can be so embarrassing.

Crying Tiger Hidden Griffin | Providence wildlife photography
I picked my kids up from a benefit for Brown Street Park in Providence. Griffin had had his face painted like a tiger and they had both received balloons. When we got home I ran inside to get my camera to catch the animal he had transformed into and left them with our neighbor. But when I made it back out, camera in hand, I found poor Griffin and sister in a state of pure dismay. His balloon had slipped off of his wrist (Mommy failed at the simple balloon preservation knot)
Is it terrible is it that I still took this picture? He was so heart broken as we watched it, a little speck, traveling up into the clouds.
Luckily he is 2 and his innate Happy isn’t that far from the surface of whatever Tragedy he has just endured.
And it wasn’t too long until his inner tiger came out again.
And he was on the hunt for a new adventure in no time.
I hope that he is able to endure all that life throws at him with the same flexibility he managed to muster with this loss. He still talks about that balloon and asks if we will find it someday.
My little tiger-griffin.
