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"

We feel the need for speed!!! NOT!!!

WE LOVE YOU TWO HOURS AND A BUNCH 

 AND SEND VIRTUAL HUGS....MA AND DADDY
