If you can tell from the picture above I have had a few birthdays since this picture was taken! I think I was about 2 in this picture–maybe a little bit older–and this is one of the few pictures I have of my childhood. Gonna get more from my mom and get them scanned in one of these days! Anyway, I am the baby in front next to my brother, Mark, with Paula and Chris in the back. That picture I think was taken in Hannibal, Ohio, where we lived till I was 8. And if it is where I think it is that is the infamous “Sniffy Bush” in the background. I could be totally wrong about where this is –it could even be at my grandparent’s home but I would like to believe it is Hannibal!!!

I have been so blessed with such a great family and my siblings have been great support to me (and Chris) through all of our years together and it just makes me so grateful that I have a close family who cares for each other even tho we don’t get to see each other as often as I would like! Maybe now that we are back in the US it will be a little easier! I at least get to see Aaron and my mom, sister and Chris’ dad and sister (and family) in the next couple of weeks. Yippee!

Dinner at The Quarry tonight for my birthday—hmmmm–what will I have?? Something yummy no doubt!!!
