The Year is 1984!
My little brother and me!
I went with this picture this month because I have a special announcement to make! This is probably one of my favorite pictures of my brother and me. And it plays into my announcement 
My brother was a couple months old in this picture. I was about 3 and 3/4 years old. There was a 4 year age gap between my bother and I basically growing up. He’s not so little now! He out grew me in height (just barely). And I think he’d be doing more of the protecting than I would, but for a long time I was the protector. And I loved being a big sister (still do). Now my little brother and sister-in-law have made me an aunt! Or a soon to be aunt! In July 2012 we’ll be welcoming a new addition to the family and I’m so excited! So congrats to Will and Danielle and here’s a post dedicated to you Will. I love you!
- My brother is about three months old here.
- We were living in Hanua, Germany. My brother was born in Frankfort, Germany.
- I got the sled for Christmas and my mom said she always wished it had sides and back cause it was tricky pulling us on it without us falling off.
- We owned that wood sled for years and years. I remember using it when I was in fourth grade to sleigh down this huge hill in the back of our apartment complex in Kansas.
- I’d just started preschool and loved it.
- My brother had his days and nights messed up
He’d sleep through the day and keep my mom up at night.

Cute photo! My second reaction was–”How could your parents put a baby on a sled!” But I settled down and realized that, of course, it’s a photo op. Whew!
