Jan. 21, 2006 - My Family

This is my youngest daughter, Andrea aka Andy.  She is very artistic, bright, and tough.  I adore her.  She is my "baby" always (cause I'm definitely not having any more children!)

We've always had a very special bond, as most mothers do with the baby they know will be their last.  She thinks she looks the most like me ;-)  She's probably right.  She's certainly built like me.  Just remember to dye your hair when you get older, honey, and we'll always look like each other!

I love her dearly, no matter what and she knows it.

This is my middle child, Jacquie aka Jackie.  She is brighter than I am, and that's saying something because I am a pretty smart cookie!  She's much taller than I am and gorgeous.  She even has that Elvis crooked smile...don't know where she got that.  Yes, I met Elvis, no, he's not her father LOL  She can do anything she wants...ANYTHING!  She is that bright.  And she has a whole lifetime to do anything she wants and she can change it all the time if she wants.  It's great to have options.  I hope she always appreciates that not everyone in this world has as many options as she does.  It's a blessing.  She's a blessing.  I am a very lucky Mom.  I adore her and she always makes me proud.

This is my eldest daughter, Tina aka Teenie Beanie  God, I LOVE her to death.  My first born.  A gorgeous creature.  She deserves all that life can give her.  I miss her terribly.  I love her always no matter what.  She has a spirit that floats around her for all to see.  A joy to behold and a fabulous, wonderful mother in her own right.

There she is!  My gorgeous, blue-eyed, grand daughter!  When she was last here she filled my home with memories.  I adore her.  She and I got along just great.  I think she could feel my love cover her like a blanket and she responded in kind.  Her name is Xochitl...yep, that's my Tina.  Came up with a name no one can say.  It's pronounced So-Chee and is the Aztec word for a flower, or the lifespan of a flower from bud to fallen petals to be more exact.  There are no words to describe my love for her.
