i think i must have forgotten a lot how much i need my sisters around. or my parents, or my baby brother, even. i just need somebody with that funny weird mix of lovin in them to remind me how all the parts inside of me are supposed to work, and why i am how i am, and why exactly that can be so great in its own silly way, if that makes sense. having alex here has reminded me to take a lot of stuff less seriously, and to take a lot of other stuff more seriously.
we've run plum outta new things to do together but alex rescheduled her flight home so we have one more week!
here's what you've missed
(let's be honest you haven't missed any of it you're barely suffering through it but let's pretend just for fun).
(thank you belle for this shot!)
You guys are twins. Get that much? ;) Oh man, sisters are the best! I've got 3 and I just love to hug their little necks!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for my own sister time later this week. Love this post , thank you
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore these posts, nat!
ReplyDeleteI always wanted a sister, but I know exactly how siblings are just the absolute best.
You two are gorgeous, thanks for sharing!

You make me want to have a sister so bad! Fantastic photos. -Hanna Marie
ReplyDeletethat first paragraph. i was reading it and all i could think was, "yes. exactly. that's exactly what it is. finally someone has put it into words." there's just somethin about family, you know?
ReplyDeleteit is UNFAIR how cute you both are. separately, obviously. but together?! ah! what a couple of babes.
ReplyDeleteand huck too :)
Nat, I've really been loving these posts with your sis!
ReplyDeleteLiving away from home you do often forget just how much you need/miss your family. Seeing these posts make me miss mine! Isn't is just lovely to be able to share that silly "only they get you" you around after so long or sort of forgetting yourself?
gorgeous photos!!

This is such a cute post : ) I love that you're both looking after each other and having so much fun in the process! It's good to know what matters in life! Juices here in NYC are amazing but oh so expensive, but man this stuff does not exist in Paris : ( I went in to Whole Foods at Union Square earlier and was like a child in a sweet shop! Keep enjoying New York ladies : )xx
ReplyDeletethe two of you are so gorgeous! and it looks like your sis has put a little extra spring in your step :)
ReplyDeleteSo great to have people around with the same memories, experiences and life lens. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your posts! and man oh man that Huck is getting more and more handsome everyday!!! what a cutie pie!!!

I am in the exact same situation as Alex right now, well she is one step ahead of me. I have a boyfriend that I've been dating since he got back from his mission 5 years ago, we're planning to get married next summer but I don't feel that it's right. Good heavens she's brave, I wish I could pick her brain right now!
ReplyDeleteSara, trust yourself. You said you don't feel it's right. There's your answer. Marriage is far too serious not to be honest with yourself about feelings. If it's right, he will wait. Otherwise, be strong and put the plans on pause. Or halt.
DeleteWith love, I say this.
Huck is SO handsome! You girls are pretty gorgeous too :)
ReplyDeleteSuch fun with sisters. Is she considering moving there? That would be great. My sister lives in CA and I'm in FL and what I wouldn't give to live in the same town...
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about Alex's breakup but it seems she's made the right choice for herself.
I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteYou and your sis are both so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteAm lovin' reading all about your adventures with your sister & huck. :) Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteoh family, and suspenders, and sisters who reschedule flights! does it get any better than that?
ReplyDeletethere is something about rescheduling a flight that the hopeless romantic side of me loves.. the idea of it is so spontaneous! have fun!
Aaaww your sister and you are soooo close! So loving and sweet. Your boy is so lucky to have such a fun and gorgeous aunt. ;)
ReplyDeleteI adore this series! Hooray for Alex visiting because now I'm Googling NYC real estate and generally writing off any chance at actually affording a place there, ever. Holy sh**.
ReplyDeleteI'll just live vicariously through you, so keep it up. ;)
P.S. My son got my nose, too. I love it.
I Know how how it is! I just had my sister and her littles visit last week - it was so hard saying goodbye on Sunday. I wish I could've convinced her husband to let me keep them another week. Looks like you're making thermostat of your time with your sister - great photos!

Nat, your sister posts are my FAVORITE! Stop apologizing for them!
ReplyDeleteI love your sister posts. Makes me wish I had a sister. Enjoy your time together!
ReplyDeleteThese posts make me long for my sister. I don't have a sister by blood but my bff of 21 years has pretty much played that role. I love your sister posts and the cute photos you two take together. I think it's wonderful you two have one another right now to help each other through the rough stuff you both may be going through! You both are very beautiful ladies!!

ReplyDeleteAlso, your sister is a total babe! And your resemblance to each other is crazy.
