Another Teenager in the Family

March 28th, my sister Sarah became a full-fledged teenager. In the Cummings family, that particular milestone is accompanied by a rite of passage: you get to wear make-up. She looked gorgeous in some nice, natural toned make-up, but the best part is, she is pretty on the inside too.

Sarah and I have birthdays within a week of each other. I wanted her to be born right on my 16th birthday but cannot fault her for coming a little earlier. She is a delightful sister, and my kids LOVE having her as an aunt. Spencer is regularly planning play dates with Sarah, and Emma is always wanting Sarah to come and babysit her. We love how spunky she is and how she keeps us up to date on the latest goings on in the family. Also, she gets as excited as I do about our family beach week. We were definitely meant to be sisters, even if we didn't get to share a birthday.
