Birthdays

Lots of birthdays to celebrate today!!

My niece Sarah is turning 14 today. This completely freaks me out. I was at the hospital when she was born and it seems like yesterday that Tracey and I sat there and played cards and waited for what seemed like forever. Sarah was about a month old when I moved to Halifax. I was upset when I had to say goodbye to my mom and sister but it was saying goodbye to Sarah that broke my heart. Sarah is soooo like her mother some days that it's scarey. Her and Elysia have such a special bond. Happy Birthday Sarah!!

Today is also my sisters' birthdays. Vanessa and Patricia turn 8 today. These pictures are taken from their first Communion. Again, it's hard to believe they will be 8. They are twins but so different, not only their looks but their personalities. They live in Ottawa so it's not easy to get see them often. Last summer they came for a visit and had their first swim in the ocean. They did not like the taste of the sea water for sure. They were so excited though they couldn't keep their mouths closed while they were in the water. I think they need to some for a visit again...hint, hint...dad....ps the beer in the photo belongs to someone else!!
