More fun than any of them were the hundreds of pictures of Josh when he was a baby, a cute little toddler making everything seem fun, and a little kid finding fascination just about everywhere he looked. I must have spent 5 hours looking through all these pictures. What a great day.
But I was surprised to realize that my sister, Tammy, has been having that same feelings of nostalgia, too. Now, I’m sure she wouldn’t admit it if you asked her, but I know what I know.
This isn’t to say that she’s not happy with her life or that she’s regretting any decisions. She’s very happy and, as far as I know, she wouldn’t change a thing. But recently she and her husband bought a pool. They’ve put in a lot of time and effort to make it just right. I know this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but there are signs; signs that she’s really reaching for something in her past. I’m her big brother. I can pick up on the signals when no one else can.
Like most people, our childhoods had some good and some bad. And sometimes we hold onto those good times so tightly, we just have to do whatever it takes to relive them. I think everyone reading this can relate, in some way, don’t you?
Cute as a button, wasn't she?

UHHHHH What in the world dude. Why would you put those terrible pictures of me on there. Dude come on.
You should be thanking me. The others I had to choose from were way WAY worse. Two words...curly hair.
I think you look adorable, Tammy. Big brothers can be mean sometimes. :0)
Two words Synchronized swimming. I was Pretty good if I do say so myself. :o) By the way thanks for not putting the others on (family reunion right).
Yep! Family reunion. And school. And singing events. And church functions. And...well, you get the idea. There's a pretty good two year period where I'd have my pick of sweet pics to post. But there are just as many pics of me when...heh hmmmm...huge glasses were "in." Stupid 80s.
btw, thanks Heather that is sweet
