Through the Years with my Sisters



Megan, Laura, Caroline & Me - May 2008

     For so many years there were just four of us girls - 15 years to be exact. Rachel, Megan, Caroline & Laura. We liked to compare ourselves to Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy of "Little Women" as well as Mary, Laura, Carrie & Grace of the "Little House" books. (In fact, my mom & Laura Ingalls' mother must've really favored the same names. Out of the 11 names that make up our first & middle names, and the 8 that make up the Ingalls girls' names, we have 6 in common!) It's a little funny how our personalities actually match pretty well with the girls in those books. I guess it just comes with the territory of your place in line. :)
     And then along came little Amelia - making us five in number. Life was so different & so fun! And our lives (and pictures) were never the same. Over the years we always made time for "Sisters" pictures. All the ones of just us four are on film as I didn't get a digital until Amelia was about 2 years old. All these posted here (excepting the first two) were taken with it, but they're all a bit blurry as I copied then from an online storage site.

These two are from my film camera - Fall 2007


Amelia's Shirt says "Little Sister" - we all wore pink to match her :)
