My Big Sisters

KIM and JACKIE

I know why you were born.


Who else would introduced me to the world of things,
each in her own unique way?

Who would always be there to keep me safe
-from bullies, the Boogeyman, and mean
babysitters?

Who was there to show me how to have FUN and not be so
serious all the time? To accept others?
Kim -the one who was born knowing that life should be a
party and is full of people to love.

Who is responsible for teaching me how to appreciate humor,
and to be aware that in life, there are some people to avoid?
Jackie -the one with the talented wit, and very good sense.

How to put EVERYONE else first? Kim and Jackie


Who protected me, mothered me a little, and made me feel
special in ways no one else ever could?
My Big Sisters!

Thank you for being who you are.

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

This was so nice of you Deann. You made me feel so special! I love the pictures of Jackie and I. The first picture seriously looks like Maison and Emma! I can't believe we are 35! This was a happy surprise!!! This was grand! I love you...

P.s. How did you get these pictures? I cried when I saw Grandma Martha! I miss her!

Thanks, Deann! The tears started as soon as I saw the title and then you had to add Tara's theme! I'll admit it's a little weird how much I love that movie and that song! Those pictures are funny! We were all so little! One of the pictures has Kailer in it! So funny! That was the best birthday present! The mean babysitters cracked me up. Seriously we had some scary ones, but they didn't get away with much did they???

I love how Jackie is holding Greg's hand in that first picture!

And the second one, of us three as babies. It's SO funny. I noticed last night, our personalities are so strong even there. Jackie is teasing me, trying to take my hat off or something. I'm like, ooooh look at the grass how amazing! And Kim is like, the sun is in my eyes, hurry up, gosh!

That was fun to see old pictures of your family. You look the same.

Remember Natalie the babysitter? Jackie you were so mean back to them! You made sure mom never invited them back to babysit! I think in the first picture Jackie looks like she is scheming something??? hahaha! Memories!

Tara said...

I love these pictures. Seeing them bring back so many memories. You guys were mean to the babysitters--even I remember that!

Dee said...

That's SO funny that you remember that Tara! Maybe they were mean because we were so terrible! Ha ha!
