Happy Birthday to My Nieces

Because I know they check the blog every once in awhile, I wanted to wish my nieces, Bridget and Kelsey (who are sisters) happy birthdays!  Bridget's birthday is today and Kelsey's is tomorrow.  

Below are two of my favorite pictures of my nieces.  Their personalities shine through in these pictures ... or at least one of their personalities does.  Can you guess who? :)

(Bridget, Kelsey, Shannon)

(enough already with the pictures)

(hey, whatcha doing with my pacifier?)

These pictures were taken close to twenty years ago!  I don't even know how that is possible.  Today, Bridget is in her first year of law school at Rutgers School of Law and Kelsey is finishing up her degree at NAU.  These pictures were taken (by me) before I had kids.  This was a time when having kids meant diapers, pacifiers, bottles, formula, Gymboree and well checks ... not cochlear implants, IEPs, DMEs, g-tubes, vents, trachs and PICUs.  I sure miss the naivete of those days. 

Happy Birthday girls - I hope your birthdays are (were) extra-special!
