chalk happy

I have a soft place in my soul for chalk. So many memories of my childhood were spent in the driveway drawing with chalk and coming in for supper covered from head to toe in dirt and chalk without a care in the world.

Three years

It's so easy to forget how much can change in 3 years. 

This is my beautiful sister in 2008:




























and now in 2011. This not so little girl (anymore) has a heart of gold and is now a couple of inches taller than me and still growing. Never thought I'd see the day when my sister, 8 years my younger, would be giving me hand me downs. Oh so blessed to call her my sister and friend. Love you Lou.


 









































Since she was my "live babydoll," I always keep her in my mind as two ages: current and as a toddler. Ever the little fireball making funny faces and quoting musicals at age 3. I remember dressing her this day. She's wearing my old ballet skirt. It had pink polka dots on it. Such a cutie.

Picture taken in 1998 (I think).
