Ah . . .
I am sitting here, in Dad's big brown La-Z-boy, typing away on my lappy-top, contentedly comfortable inside, whilst the weather is deliciously Autumn outside. =]
The fire below, being my amiable companion.
[thanks goes to my pyrogen-savvy brother ;]
*ahem*
Back to the matter at hand, in re, my baby sister . . .
. . . Heidi <3
[2012]
She's a gem, to be sure!
[2012]
Upon first impression, one may see her as a sweetly reserved, quietly mannered type of girl (which she is); howevah!
[2012]
She is typically quite animated. ;)
[2007, 2008, 2011, 2012]
Heidi is a great sport. =]
[2010]
Speaking of sports, she enjoys many a variety of them . . .
[2012]
. . . some of them being daring, quite.{!}
[2012]
She's pretty intense.
[2012]
Still, one simply can't help hugging the Heidi-child. =}
[2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012]
Because, she's a sweetheart. <3
[2012]
She loves animals . . .
[2007, 2008, 2012]
. . . and Evin . . .
[2011, 2012]
. . . and being with friends . . .
[2012]
. . . {more friends!}.
[2008, 2012]
The reason that all of this is being brought to your attention, is because, Heidi
(previously described),
recently celebrated her
In September of 2000, we all welcomed the 6th child and 8th member of our Fred family, Heidi Christine. <3
To begin festivities, a waffle breakfast was given.
[2012]
Followed by sundry activities, viz. singing at the Nursing Home; shopping at the mall; sister-pic-a-nic-ing; daddy-daughter ball-gaming; and annual bridge-talking. =)
We three discovered ourselves quite unintentionally matching
(this sort o' thing occurs frequently ;P). {!}
[2012]
(we were asked if we were part of a 'function' ... lol)
She makes a darling little mouse!
{hah 'little' as in, almost-as-tall-as-me ;}
[2012]
I am privileged to be related to such stellar individuals. =]
[2012]
Love you, Best Little Sister Ever!
[2012]
(as in the case with the nephew, i can say that because she's mine - you can say that about your little sister{s}, too ;)
*Dear Heidi*,
It's my prayer and sincere hope , that this year, your walk with the Lord reaches heights that you {can't even imagine}.
May you continue to brighten other's lives, by allowing Jesus' Light to shine through YOUR life {especially in the difficult times - His grace is sufficient}.
You are a {constant source of delight} to me, and I will ever cherish the memories we've made (and future ones to come!).
*Love from your sister*,
Phia
Post Scriptum
~ I wish to add, that Heidi is the originator of that nickname {Phia}. =)
[Her infant tongue being incapable of pronouncing the letter 's' for a period of time]
