Oh dear, Oh my...
another wedding.
Just two weeks away.
Haircut Courtesy of Big Sister
Yes, my pragmatic daughter no. 2
has decided to forego all the hoopla
of a big formal wedding
and exchange vows in a courthouse.
Yep, that would be my girl.
"We won't be getting a baby dear."
With baby brother....yeah.
The toddler
whose preschool teacher began
our conference with
"Now, Joanna, she is a difficult child."
"We won't be getting a puppy dear."
With puppy Molly....yeah.
Ditto the minivan with 'sliding doors.'
The girl who had 'nothing to wear'
when she was 4 yrs old.
So in a fit of lost-temper
I threw all her clothes out the door.
She had to buy them back from me.
No kidding.
The same kiddo who attended her best friend's
10th birthday party in a kimono,
just because she could.
The child
who drove me to seek out a child psychiatrist
from when she was about 10 to age 14.
The doctor informed me that she would make
'a great lawyer one day.'
Oh, the stories I could tell.
The STORIES I could tell.
Yes, she ran down the street after me like this.
But she is also the same daughter
who will clean the entire kitchen
when I am not at home.
She will iron all my husband's shirts
hanging in the laundry room
without ever being asked.
Joanna: "No, I pop's sweetie pie."
That's just how she said it too.
She's is hardworking
and stands on her own two feet.
Just don't mess with her.
Oh, and daddy and the sneakers...
That was before he was trained.
She makes every occasion a party.
She is the life of the party.
Christmas Wine: Middle Sister 'Rebel Red'
And she's the oh-so Middle Sister.
Without her,
there would be a big hole
in the family.
Without her,
there would be a big hole
in the family.
Dating
Her husband-to-be is one lucky guy.
He's the one!
And a most welcome member of our family
especially since he knows exactly what she needs
and when she needs it.
Engaged
The Three of Them
Sigh...
Another one leaves the nest.
Another one leaves the nest.

What a sweet tribute and celebration of the beautiful, head-strong, independent young lady and bride-to-be your daughter has become. Congratulations!
Blessings Becky. I have one just like this. And guess what...he's a lawyer :)
P.S. We were told at his Kindergarten parent/teacher conference that he was a "divergent thinker".....lol. Honestly, I think it is what has made him succcessful in life AND driven me prematurely to dye my hair :)
