The Boy is TWO

Monday, October 30th, 2006

My precious big little brother, Jason lives in the house I grew up in and has a wonderful little family there. His firstborn, Joshua-affectionately known as “The Boy” becuase he is the only one (almost, now) in a SEA of little girls-celebrated his 2nd birthday last week. I can’t believe I got any pictures of him-I expected just a big BLUR-that boy never stops moving! Aunt Robin loves you Joshua!

Joshua-hardly being still! He is TWO for goodness sake!

Great-grandmother Sarah Portis and Joshua’s Grandonna

BIG fun in the backyard.

My beautiful girls in their beautiful dresses made by my beautiful mother.

My cousin Lisa, who has one of the sweetest spirits I have even known. I am so happy for her.

My grandmother, Oma, with her 10 great-grandchildren.

Patrick and Lisa met on the playground in kindergarten. 25 years later he took her back there and proposed.

My cousin Jodie with Emma Cate and Jennifer, my cousin Josh’s wife, with Davis.

My daddy played at the reception. Here he is with all his grandchildren.

Me and my precious sister, Katie.

They had such a good time dancing to Pa and Josh’s music.
