Guilt Works (with a lot of nagging)

These are some pictures that my brother-in-law, Martin took of his kiddos at the Ship Museum. I've been harassing he and my sister for a long time now to send me more pictures of my nieces and nephew. I'm glad to see all my nagging and guilt (laid on especially thick) has worked.



I only have one sister and it is horribly difficult to go without her, being that she lives across the Atlantic Ocean and that neither of us are millionaires. All that leaves us with are phone conversations which consist of 2 minutes of talk sandwiched between ongoing battles between siblings, juice spills, and intermittant crying for no apparent reason at all. They go something like this: "Kelly, what I think you should do is....hey stop that get down from there...what should I do?...you should really...Tobias you are not getting any chocolate today that's it!...Kelly?...yes Kris?...Collin and Mary stop fighting!...Oh my God, oh no Kris can I call you back?...Sure Kel. Talk to you later..."

Kelly will call back to tell me that an entire carton of milk was just poured out onto her newly cleaned floor and I'll tell her that that's nothing cause I have maple syrup covering every spindle of every single one of my kitchen chairs. We laugh and we feel better. That's what sisters are for you know to laugh at and with one another and also to complain about how looney their parents are becoming in their old age too of course! Love you Kel!
