We Are Family

We have been receiving some lovely, gentle and very welcome April showers this morning.

The weekend was quiet and ordinary. Just the two of us. Quiet. Ordinary. Those are good things, right?

Yesterday was Happy Siblings Day. Of course I have to say how blessed I am to have the brother and sister that God blessed me with. And, of course, I have to post a few pics of us for old times' sake and my photo journal.

Two sisters.

Welcome, baby brother.

I'll never understand those Toni perms.

This is cute, but it was much, much

cuter when he dressed as a shepherd and

guarded Baby Jesus (baby doll) in the manger (magazine rack). 

Oh mercy. Those awkward, growing up years.

"Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly go the years.

One season following another,

laden with happiness and tears."

And speaking of family trees, others become part of the family tree and voila, you have new siblings.

Brother with wife, Susan

Sometimes you become a branch on someone else's family tree. It especially blesses me that when one of our grandsons had a school project about the family tree, I was included!

Yessirreee!

There I am.

Right smack dab in the middle.

Thank you, Noah.
