siblings

this is 1980, the year before i was born.
my brother chad is 2 1/2 and my sister amy is 4.

chad was obsessed with dirt.
amy was obsessed with bossing chad around.

then i came along, and they bossed me around. they used to tell me to go ask my mom and dad for m&m's after we were supposed to be in bed. as i ran down the hallway they'd say "there she goes, down the dair-i-o." mom would tell me to go back to bed, i usually got a spanking, and i'd get put back in bed, where amy and chad would pretend to be asleep. after mom was gone, they'd start all over. i was just so gullible. i was really hoping that those m&m's would appear!

now we are much older, but chad has the most addictive laugh, and does the best impersonation of my dad's 'less than amused' look. he also has my little brynn wrapped around his finger.

amy is not so bossy anymore; in fact she is the most giving person i know. and she does this without any thought of getting something in return.

seeing these old pics reminds me of watching slides and i wish that i was home on a sunday night to watch them with everyone.
