Being the younger sibling!

You have gathered by now, Jack is the younger sibling.

Happy Jack is what we call him. He really is a happy go lucky, easy going kid!

One day I decided to be a behind the scenes Mom.

You see, this is my neighbors house across the street.
They are empty nesters now.

They love when the kids go play basketball in their driveway, and believe me, the kids in the hood do it often.

This is about the only flat driveway around here to play on.

Jack truly adores his big Bro.

Although, Alex does not always hold the same admiration for him, I know he does love him.

They are pretty close, but have many moments of bickering. I see the older they get, the bickering is subsiding.

My boys are 3 years 9 months apart.

Same exact as my sister and I, which is pretty ironic how that worked.

My sister was a real nuisance to me growing up, of course she was! She was supposed to be.
(LOVE YA SISSIE, don't write anything bad LOL)

Always in my stuff, wearing my clothes, being noisy, tattle tattling, etc., etc.,

She will say I was mean, but in reality, I was just being a typical big sister, and she was being a typical little sister.

We always had love for each other though, and no one could mess with my sister, they had to get through me first. (She is so cute, and funny too!)

But it is moments like this, that I realize sometimes being the little one, hurts too...

let the pictures tell the story...

He sits patiently, hoping for just one participation.....

He listened to the laughter, and all the fun...

He thought there would be a point, in which they said, Hey Jack come jump in...

It never did happen..

Are you the little Sister? or Big sis?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Grateful for so much!

SIs and I...many hairstyles later, much laughter, much tears....love the pixie cuts when we where small.
I am Grateful for so very much in my life!~ But first and foremost, I am grateful to my Mom for choosing to have me, at the very young age of 16. She gave up most of her life for that choice, and I don't tell her often, but I want to thank her for that decision, as I know it was not easy to have a baby, when in fact you are a baby yourself at that age. We had our struggles, sure we did, I think Mom's and daughters in general have difficulties at some point,we just happened to be closer in age when they where happening:). I love you Mom! My Mom worked very hard as a waitress to support my sister and I after the divorce from my Father. We had absolutely everything and more that most kids had with two parents. We always came first.~ Four years apart are my sister and I, which again, I may not always tell her how much I love her, and am thankful to have her. She is truly my best friend! Sis and I are always there for each other, when the goings get tough, I can call her, knowing there is no judgment, no fault blamed and she is there to listen. She knows me better than I know myself, We are cool like that!~ I love you Ang! My life is so blessed in so many ways, I almost sometimes question it, how did I get so lucky?..... to have an awesome family, awesome Husband who is also my best friend! and no matter what loves me unconditionally, with all my faults and all! And my boys, they are the best sons a mOther can ask for! (talk to me in a couple of years ,I will let you know how that is going). I have many friends, whom in which I am grateful for. But in all honesty at the end of the day, it is our family that is truest to my heart. I love you Mike, Alex and Jack XXXOOO! Oh and LUcy too! I don't have her picture here....so sorry Luc!
