I stumbled on this little moment in our old home movies over the weekend and couldn’t believe how sweet it was.  And so I made this video.

(I’m the little blond sister, by  the way…)

   I feel like such a movie star (I’m the one in the peasant skirt). This is very lovely. I look just like my Yaz.

    Beautiful video! Isn’t it wonderful that someone thought of recording such simple, true moments. And Shelley, I just adore your yellow-top-and-print-skirt outfit!

    Lovely, lovely. (My favourite part is the tippy-toe dance – just too filled with life to land fully.)
    This feeling works with brothers, too.

    Also, can hardly stand to wait to read the new book… pub date, yet?

    You girls look lovely. There’s so much love! Thanks for sharing it. And it’s another evidence that Yazzie and Shelley are almost the same person!
