Today, my baby sister turns 25-years-old. I was nine-years-old when she was born and I remember that wonderful day so clearly...especially seeing her in the hospital nursery. When you look at the petite 5 ft tall young lady today you'd never guess that she weighed a whopping 9lbs 3.5 oz at birth. And man was she strong.

My sister is 9 1/2 years younger than me. That is such a special relationship. :) I hope she has a happy birthday. I don't want to think about my sister turning 25 (she'll be 18 this summer) as it seems like she was a baby just yesterday.
That was so sweet and cute!!! I feel special (honestly, I do) that I got a big part in your blog! I especially like how you put in there that I have nice manicured eyebrows LOL...... I really did LOL when I read that.
You're cute! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! -JeanAnn
What sweet things to say about JeanAnn, and all of them are true.
She is truly a sweet and special person.
