First, the good...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT JENN!!!
We hope you have a great day and can't wait to see you on Wednesday:) Thanks for being such an awesome Sister-In-Law, Aunt and Friend. Thanks for giving us a reason to like Ryan and enjoy having him around...hahahaha!! We love you, you're the best:)Second, the not so good,
On December 20, 1990 my Mom lost her battle with breast cancer. Although there still isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her, she is especially on my mind today. I've lived over half my life without her but in the time that she was here she most definitely shaped the person I am and the mother I am. She was a fantastic Mom and I am so grateful for the 14 years I had with her.
This has always been one of my favorite pictures. For those of you who have only know m since college, note the hair:)
It is strange that my brother's wife was born on the same date my mother died...out of all the days of the year...this one??!! I can't help but wonder if my mother sent us the gift of having something to be happy about and smile for on a day that is so sad for us. Celebrating Jenn's bday certainly makes this day easier to deal with:)

keena, i am thinking of you. i wish neither of us had this in common.
you are a fantastic mommy and i know your mom is very proud
Your mom was a lovely and accomplished woman who truly loved you all. She did everything she could to take care of your futures before she died. Maybe she put in an order for Jenn when she left us.
