As I searched for photos to use in this week’s birthday tribute to my big brother,
I came across all sorts of other fun childhood photos.
Exhibit A:
So, today I am thankful for:
My little brother, Stephen,
who was a good sport and not only played dress-up with me
but also mugged for the camera
and made me laugh,
and, perhaps most importantly,
helped me refine my daring fashion sense.

I love this photo and the other ones of your big brother too! And is that your back deck? Beautiful!

I smile every single time I look at this pic. Such a funny little face he’s making. And yes, that was our back deck in Wisconsin. We were very fortunate to have such a gorgeous playground.

LOVE this!!! Isn’t it fun to poke around for pictures of your past?! 🙂
(Where did you live in Wisconsin? We were there one fateful summer…)

I think it’s cool we’ve both been sorting through old photos. Another connection. 🙂
We lived in a small, small town thirty miles north of Madison. Population 1,507.

Love it! You’re such a good sis — although I usually remember my brother’s b-day, he’s lucky if he gets more than a ‘happy birthday’ in passing 😉

I can’t imagine what it’s like growing up without siblings. I feel fortunate, and would love to be a good sis. Maybe you could put that in writing…

I was so lucky to have a huge dress-up selection from my great aunt. Dresses and shoes and hats and gloves and purses. It was the very best!
