My mother and Matilda were especially close as they grew up, so I have several photos of the twosome over the years. It was difficult to choose just one. Sylvie, the second oldest girl, was the glamorous one in the family and coached her younger sisters to be more sophisticated and elegant. Quite a group!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-79432139190777977962012-09-17T02:54:36.961+02:002012-09-17T02:54:36.961+02:00How fortunate to have so many aunts.
