Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

This photo was taken circa... 1993?

I was a ballerina, our neighbor, Craig, was a zombie (total trendsetter), and my sister, Carrie, was apparently an extra from the 1983 film, Flashdance.
(I think she was actually "a teenager.")

Happy Birthday, Kiki!

Happy birthday, to my youngest older sister, Carrie!

Love, your always awesome baby sis.

Love you! xo

Cracking each other up since 1987.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Love you!

Here's a father's day post I wrote about my Dad that sums us up pretty well.

Today.

Today would have been my Grandpop's 93rd birthday, which means that after work (or, in my case, after driving home from Lake Placid), pretty much everyone in my family will be clinking glasses and drinking Old Granddad and ginger ales.

This picture was when he came to visit us in Germany shortly after I was born.  I think it's safe to say we woke him up (he looks thrilled about it, doesn't he?).  Please note my awesome baby mohawk.

To my Grandpop, happy birthday.

To my family, cheers!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Photos of my mom, my sisters and me, taken by my dad when we lived in Germany.

These were taken during the brief period of time when I was still the shortest in our family.

When it comes to the Mom department, I really lucked out.

Happy Birthday, Mama.  I love you.

Mom & Dad

My sister sent me these old photos of my mom & dad hiking in Bertchesgaden National Park in Germany.

Don't they look so stylish?

I especially love that my mom is climbing mountains in platforms.
