My artistic little sister Mary is nothing short of talented. She has studied art abroad and can pretty much do any kind of art that you can imagine really well. She can take a regular old day and make it look like an amazing piece of art with her camera, or carve and build furniture. I ask her a question about design and boom… she has solid ideas that I would never have thought. She is also always there when I need her most. At my wedding reception she stayed super late prepping flowers, and each time we leave town she takes care of my two wild dogs… etc. She is a wonderful sister and an extremely talented artist (I know I already mentioned that – but she is darn good) I hope she has a wonderfully happy year and many many more to come!

Now about the photos…
Sorry Mary – I didn’t have a whole lot of recent ones!
This first photo is a picture from my wedding day. Mary was my maid of honor and I was so thankful that Island Photo snapped this shot 🙂 Next we have our first Halloween as a family of five. Little Mary was born just a few days before halloween, and so here she is only days old 🙂 Bobby and I are all dressed in our costumes, and I’m sure a huge handful for my mom who had just had Miss Mary. I’m guessing my dad was our trick or treat chaperone that night! Next comes Grandma Millie holding Mary on her Christening day followed by another sibling photo with Grandma Madigan. Cute little Mary playing on the beach in Sarasota as a toddler in her too adorable swimsuit. Mary’s High School Graduation photo, and a really embarrassing family photo taken after backpacking. Sorry!
