The Youngest Among Us

Every family needs a youngest. Someone who gets called the baby for the rest of their lives, who always has to go last when playing anything "oldest to youngest", who has to stay home alone (or with the parents...whatevs) while all the big kids go to school or swimming lessons, and who gets to do whatever they want as they grow up because the above mentioned parents have already said "No!" so many times through the years that they decided to try a different approach with the youngest and just let her have everything, go everywhere and do whatever she wants! If I had known this was the case, I might have opted to be the youngest instead of the second born. . . There's nothing glamorous about being the second born!

Anyway, our family welcomed our youngest into the clan 21 years ago today! That's right, the youngest among us is now an adult! Well, numerically . . .

And now, for the audiences viewing pleasure, here is our baby, our Cindy Lou, Lil' Red, Hoot Owl, Little Bare, Droozel, Alps, Clairee:














Happy 21st birthday to you, Clairee!
Love,
Ouiser

About Me

My photo
My name is Mandie. I am a lover of the Fall season, cloudy weather, rural places, potato chips, getting mail, family, friends, the gospel, Winston, writing and so much more! I needed a hobby, so I started a blog. My life is normally pretty boring, blogging has given me a reason to try new things and be aware of the world around me because surely there is something to learn every day if we are paying attention!
