Besties

When Karleigh Piper was just 3 months old I told Justin that I wanted another baby. He laughed. {why wouldn't he} I knew life with 2 under 2 would be hard BUT I wanted more than just another baby. I wanted Karleigh to have a best friend. Someone right at her age that she was BONDED to for life. Justin finally agreed and in just a few short months we were pregnant with our second child when our first was only 5/6 months old. When Karleigh was three days shy of 15 months old her best friend was born. Emmett Lane completed our family (for the moment).
Those two are everything I could have dreamed of. They truly are BEST FRIENDS! They're playmates and they love each other to death. Sure, those first two years were tough (couldn't have been that bad since we decided to add one more to the crazy life of ours) but I wouldn't trade a single second of it.Just the other day Justin took Emmett out for the day and I took my girls shopping. The entire time Karleigh asked about Emmett and waned to get him a gift. She picked him out a new car because he loves them. She also told me she missed him several times and asked if he was coming home that night. --I DIE! Then, the next day they held hands in the car. My heart exploded.
Of course they have their moments. They FIGHT. They BICKER. They ARGUE. BUT They also love each other something fierce. They HOLD HANDS. They SHARE. They SAY I LOVE YOU. They're everything.
Now adding Leighton to this mixed has only solidified their bond. She's the baby of the family. They're her protectors.
