To my little sister, Katie...

FYI: This is the first of 3 posts today and 1 post from earlier this week. Keep reading!!!

My sister Katie and her husband John riding the tram back to the car at Disneyland June 2007. She is holding Emma age 1, John is holding Rachel age 3, and Sarah with her hand raised.

For my weekly post, I wanted to dedicate this post to my little sister, Katie. Her birthday was this week and I was thinking a lot about her. She and I are great friends and I sure miss her. I wanted to just mention a few things that I love about her.
