Thanks Gina!

Like I said, I love my sisters!  Gina did the sweetest post for me and I thought I'd include the same picture collage here because it is so sweet and she found some fun pictures of us as kids!

(Sorry about all the blurry scanned pics. These are about all we've got!)

"A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost."

I love that.  Thanks Gina!!

Sisters and Family

Sisters... I miss them so much and am so excited to be able to go to Utah to see them (all but my youngest sis, Melissa who is in Florida, boo hoo), and my family this weekend!  It's been a whole year since I've seen everyone!

I've been trying to organize old photos lately and came across these.  The picture above is one of my favorites, taken sadly before my other sis-in-law, Rebecca joined our family.  It's a scan, obviously, and sorry about the bad copy.  It is old, and has started to stick to the glass, so I scanned it through the glass, thus the dust particles!  I know it's an old one and everyone looks so different, especially me.  I wish I looked that young now!  (Hmm, maybe I should grow my hair out a bit). Just one of my all-time favorites with our mom too!

I know I've posted this one before, but this is another one of my favorites taken at Melissa's wedding.  I love the snow in the background and how close we all are together to keep each other warm!  Lots of fond memories of that day!

Aww, I just found this one and love it!  I scanned it from my sister-in-law, Rebecca's pages that she put together from she and Greg's wedding day.  The only sad thing is that she's also not in it!  (I hope you're not taking this personal, Rebecca!)  I love how gussied up we all got for Greg and Rebecca's wedding, and how close we all are in this picture.  (It was another beautiful wintery wedding!)  Hmm, I'm liking the hair again and really thinking about growing it out a bit.  I love how everyone's hair looks - did we all have someone do our hair?  Anyway, fun memories!  These are the only pictures I have on hand.  I need to dig deeper for pics from some of the other weddings. 

Ah, there she is.. doesn't she look beautiful? 

So there you have it... some of my favorite pictures of my family that I miss so much!  I'm looking forward to some fun times this weekend!
