I discovered fun-gis are here today, gone tomorrow, August 14th.
Today, August 28th, is our daughter's birthday.
This was her first official portrait taken at 2 and 1/2 months. She has been a ray of sunshine in our lives since 8/28/71. Her Dad nicknamed her Big M (sometimes he can still get away with calling her that).
When she was a toddler, she hated to take a nap. She always asked how long she had to sleep? I'd say about 'two hours' which was an eternity to her. As she got older, she would tell us she loved us '2 hours (because to her that was a LOT) and a bunch'. Her smile still lights up a room and she is an amazing young woman.
Madi shared this post on March 11, 2018..which was also Madi's Sweet 16
Before we knew it, Big M was having her Sweet 16 birthday
with her bestie Kathy
I am not the first girl to turn 16 in this house. Lo and behold my Sis aka Big M as dad called her for a very long time, turned 16 here too. So I send Big M aka Human sissy a big thanks for all she taught them.
They both had all the same friends so they shared their 16th bday at
Pizza Hut. Sissy's bday is August 28 and Kathy's September 5.
They met in 7th grade..instantly becoming best friends.
Such a sight to see also..
At the time Marlu was 5'1" to Kathy's 5'9"
by the time they were in high school they both had growth spurts.
Marlu was 5'2" Kathy was 5'11"

LOVED every word! I did. Smiling big right now. Those pictures were fun to see and Madi...there you were...sweet 16!! Big M and my Bruce were born, as you mentioned on my blog just a few days apart...and Bruce clocked in in 1970. I loved that "growth spurt"! of 1 inch. Sounds like me. I was 12 and a whole 5'1. I had a growth spurt too...5'2" !!! (eyes of blue too) oh, and kitschy kitschy kitschy coo).

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
