Creating Sisterhood

Hello, I'm Kathy, the eldest of ... well I suppose that depends on how you look at it. Currently, factoring in step siblings and in-laws I'm the oldest of 9... (more if we start counting step-in-laws but I had to choose somewhere to draw the line)
Growing up I was the oldest of three kids. Jeremy was two years younger than me, Laura a year younger than him.

That's me in the middle!
Flash forward a couple decades after that picture was taken and our family expanded when Mom remarried. Sarah and her brother and sisters joined our family as well.

Big family -including the kiddos!
Then a year ago our family grew even more when Jeremy got married! Melissa and I have rapidly discovered common interests and the couple of weeks we've spent together in person has not been nearly enough.

Aren't they a cute couple?
We are quite spread out across Canada and the US. Fortunately we did get some time together over the Holidays this year. Melissa and Jere flew to New Jersey and then we all piled into the van and drove to Ottawa on Christmas Eve.

I need to convince Melissa to move closer to our cluster in the East.

Which brings me to the point of this blog. I wanted to find a way to foster our sisterhood, despite the distance. This is a place for us to gather and to collect our recipes and crafts, share our triumphs, support each other's trials...
Welcome to our sisterhood!

-Kathy
