Birthday Bloggin' {Part 2}

Today we celebrate the birth of another one of my sisters. Happy 4th birthday, Kelly!

-----

Four whole years. That's how long it's been since Kelly Jo came into our lives. On one hand, it astounds me that she's turning four already. But on the other, it feels like she's been around forever. Maybe that's just because I can't imagine life without my "mini me."

-----

She's a big girl now.

Oh, you never fail to make me laugh.

Kelly: Megan, guess what.

Me: What?

Kelly: Monkey butt!

{Kelly laughs as if this were the funniest joke in the world.

And because of her laughter... it is.}

Wishing you a year full of happiness and wonder and laughter and silliness.

I love you, Baby Jo.

Love,

Megan

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny

You've got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up...
