Oh Brother

I knew you before you knew yourself. 

I remember making posters with Dad to welcome you and mom home from the hospital. 

I remember your nursery at 313 Sheridan Drive with the green and yellow canopy crib. 

I remember when you graduated to your big boy bunk beds. 

I remember you jumping off the top bunk as a toddler and giving mom a near heart attack. 

I remember playing war on those same bunk beds and changing the rules of the game so I would always win.  And you never complained.

I remember fighting to have the Mario chair when we played Nintendo in your room.

I remember the sand pile.

I remember forts.

I remember the kangaroo kicks.

I remember ALOT of baseball games & practices.

I remember the pool and the hill at Orchard Park.

I remember the snowball.

I remember the accident incidents of Disney.

I remember $1 taco night at Carolina Cantina.

I remember your free spirit taking you all over the country.

I remember you dressed up in a monkey suit for the first time - for me.

I remember when you really held a baby for the first time- my baby Olivia.

I remember when you held your nephew for the first time to.  He reminds me alot of you.

I remember so many things about our growing up together.  And I have loved it.  So happy birthday brother.  There are many more memories to come!
