Age Difference? No Problem

My sons think the sun rises and sets on their big sister. She is 5 1/2 years older than Scott, 8 1/2 years older than Todd. My kids have always enjoyed hanging out together but the past couple of years (she's 16 now) she has, naturally, wanted to spend more and more of her free time with her friends. My sons have expressed missing her.

Today we spent the entire day together (they helped me with the zinefest) and it was grand. She was a little grouchy at first and complained of wanting to be with her friends, but she soon got over it and spent time playing with her brothers. I asked them, what did you like best about today? and Scott and Todd said: Everything but especially seeing Iyende all day.
