Lara has really started enjoying playing with Mari now that she can sit up and move around and hold onto the 15 toys that Lara forces upon her ;-)  They really are very sweet together!  I enjoy listening to Lara tell her stories, and say little prayers with her and teach her the very important aspects of life (like why it's important to listen and obey Mommy and how every girls favorite color should be purple, but that she can like pink too if she wants)

I hope that this sisterly love and affection will continue!
