Brave Sister

I love Sis #2's pictures. That was the best surprise for Zoe as not only were Sis #1's kiddos there for her birthday, but Sis #2 and her whole family drove up to spend time with us. Sis #2 was the sis that took care of Zoe for about 9 months when I first was diagnosed. She's pretty much Zoe's 2nd mommy.

She took some pictures at Z's birthday party, but accidentally erased them, so she took some at the park.

I love this picture. What a lovely surprise. It is such a typical Zoe shot. Spirited. Full of life. Always on the move.

I especially love Sis #2's caption:

Hello up there

This is my niece. She just turned 8 on Thursday.

I took a lot of great pictures at her birthday party, but the world will never see them because I ACCIDENTALLY ERASED THEM ALL!

This is one of my "sorry I deleted your picture let me make that up by taking 6 kids (3 of mine, 2 nieces, 1 nephew) to the park and re-shooting them" shots.

BTW - this is how people "live on the edge", after they have kids - they take a 1/2 dozen young children to the park by themselves. I highly recommend it if you do not have enough excitement or chaos in your life.

I love my sisters. Big hugs go out to Sis #3 who we were not able to see (hey, no worries, soccer season is coming up again. Zoe loves when y'all come watch!!)

I can do this. Someone adores me.

Your assignment today is to tell me about your favorite picture and/or link me to it. I love photography, but never really got into it.

I'm feeling a little better and am actually going to attempt some food today to see how it goes. I really need to see a doc to get a tune up or something.

Hi Yvonne from Joy Unexpected has some great photographs of her family linked on her blog to Flicr. And Secret Agent Josephine takes the most amazing photographs every day and put them on her blog too.

Help! Please send me Sis #2's email address as she has a new one and I don't have it! And or her phone number again. If she didn't write over the pictures, she can still "rescue" them!

Debs--I LOVE this photo of Zoe. I hope you have lots of prints made to give to everyone. She just looks so Zoe-y.

Sorry to have been out of touch. I've been traveling, as I think you know, and I don't think I thanked you for your donation to my blog, which I certainly meant to do. Thank you.

Here are two of my favorite photos, from the trip:

Now, after having gotten together with Jacqueline in NYC for just two short days, I am really looking forward to the Cancer Bloggers Reunion in July. The more I think about it, the more I think that the reunion should be very unstructured. Just time for all of us to be together--what do you think?

Love and hugs and kisses,

Jeanne
