I can’t believe my baby sister is turning 13 years old today.
I am now twice as old as her. So weird.
We got to celebrate last night since Dave and I are in Nebraska for the week. Much craziness ensued.
I already had other younger siblings but for some reason, I wanted another one. I wanted a little baby to play with. Probably because babies are super cute.
I would pray and pray for a little sweet baby to just show up at the house. Funny wish for a junior-higher huh?
I got so excited when we found out Mama Sue was pregnant with Miss Rachel. I read all of mom’s magazines, baby books and watched the instructional videos. I wanted to be prepared. This was serious business.
My prayers were answered when I got to hold my baby sister for the first time. It was a surreal moment for sure.
I remember babysitting her (and my other siblings) when mom was going back to nursing school. I remember small things like getting her to go to sleep (and stay asleep) and getting to dress her up. She was like my little doll and I loved it!
And like my mini-me.
We look eerily similar in our younger pictures.
Although she has grown taller than me, she will always be my baby sister. (My baby sister who has had the attitude of a teenager for the past couple of years….)
The answer to my silly childhood prayers. 🙂
Love you Rachel Ray!

Ah MAN! I remember when I was 13 and the world was so easy and there were no worries! 😉

haha right!! Those were the days!!
LOVE this. My ‘little’ sister is now 23, almost 24, and we are exactly 5 years and a day apart. I remember being told she was my birthday present, and even at 5 I thought, “LAME.” (Or something similar. ;)) Growing up, I always babied/”mommed” her, most likely because we spent half the time living with our dad and so I felt it my responsibility to do so…I’m finally realizing she is actually an adult.
So you didn’t wish for a baby sibling like me?? 😉
I really do wonder if/when I will ever consider Miss Rachey an adult? And it makes sense that you would baby her…the 5 year difference alone would do it!
haha, my sister is turning 25 this year, and she was due around my b-day too.
