To Annie....

Happy Birthday, my cute sister!!! This is Annie, as I call her, with her little girl, Sage. Angela is a great photographer and is often found with a camera around her neck and a child on her arm. She is pregnant and due in December. Her first boy. I'm so excited!!
(Real name, Angela) This is the sister that is three years my elder (just above me in age...and yet she looks three years my younger. :/ She's darling.)
She is the mother that reads a million books to her children a day, while folding laundry, making homemade applesauce, canning peaches, and pulling out whole wheat bread from the oven made with wheat flour she ground herself. Every time she has a baby she donates 12 inches of her hair to Locks of Love where they make wigs for kids with cancer....and what gorgeous locks they are. (They are much thicker than mine.) Her adorable girls.....Sage Virginia...who dressed herself, and Lydia McKinley. Annie is tender hearted, laughs at all my really dumb jokes...well pretty much laughs at anything...including giggle cookies, and is extremely positive about every challenge that comes her way. She is an incredibly hard worker and sacrifices so much for the happiness of her family. She is a great example to me. I love you , Annie. Happy Birthday!!!
