Happy Birthday, Julie!

May Day is my sister's birthday! Happy 28th Birthday, Julie! I guess since I'm older it's okay to publish her age for all the world to see! Here are some of my favorite pictures of her from the last few years. If I wasn't tired (it's the wee hours of the morning), I think I'd even try and dig out some really old pictures of her for you to see. Actually, probably most of the really great ones are at our parents house. I'll see what I can arrange for next year....


Our favorite summer day -at the Minnesota State Fair.


At my LPN pinning ceremony.


Every year at Christmas, without fail, we take a picture of the two of us in front of the fireplace at my parent's house. This year I couldn't stop touching her belly!


The last picture I took with her while she was pregnant.


Meeting her son for the first time!


One of my favorite pictures ever.


And now in her new role as mommy, a role that she is shining in! Here's one of David's very first smiles caught on film, back when we weren't sure if they were "real" smiles or not.

Julie, have a WONDERFUL birthday! Enjoy your day and I look forward to seeing you on Saturday!!
