*February 25 - My sister, Julie, was born!



Unfortunately for her, she was the fourth child, so there aren't so many photos of her as a baby. I have even less, so I thought I'd post one that shows how cute she was as a little girl. She still smiles just like this!

She is so fun and knows how to throw a party. If she ever invites you to one, drop everything and go--it'll be worth it!

Happy Birthday Julie!
