Friday, February 20, is the birthday of my sister, Debbie Brenneman. Happy Birthday dear sister, you are one of my top two favorite sisters in the whole world! That is pretty special because there are 6 billion people on earth and half of them are women. So you can consider yourself special enough to be in the top two of my list of 3 billion sisters on earth. Wow!
I know I don’t have to say this to you because you already know it, but I love you and admire you. One of my greatest joys in the last two years has been to watch you with your grand daughter Natalie. You share a special bond with her and that is evident when the two of you are together. I am sure Natalie would say that you are also one of the two best grandma’s in the world. So, once again, you are in special company out of 3 billion women. Wow!
I just want the world to know how wonderful you are! World, do you know that Debbie is an awesome, awesome, awesome person? Of course you do. Happy Birthday Debbie! Enjoy the photos from the past year. Yes, I made them black and white on purpose - no reason for it, just to be different. You can click on any photo to see it in a larger view.

Kelly is married to my nephew Joey. She is the mother to Garrett, Anna and Sam. And she teaches at Wilson Elementary School. Yes, Kelly is busy, but you would not know it because she is such a calm person. Kelly, you are a great mom. I guess Joey will have to let us know if you are a great wife. Oh wait, I wouldn't believe anything Joey says anyway. I'll just go on my first thought that you are an all-around great person.
My sister Debbie and her precious grand daughter Natalie. After Alicia's wedding shower, we stopped by my nephew John's house in Salina to play with his daughter Natalie.
Enjoy the faces of Natalie
Natalie's idea of riding her tricycle is to have her daddy John push her.

More photos from Alicia's shower - MK and Nancy. Notice those pearly white teeth of Nancy. She had her braces taken off last week.

Anna used an empty gift sack for a hat
My nieces, Alicia, Rebecca, and Jody.
You can always count on Anna for a good photo.
Enjoy the next few photos.

The two Mrs Thielens. Kelly and Susan both teach at Wilson Elementary School. One student looked at Kelly and said, 'Oh, I thought you were the real Mrs Thielen." I guess Susan has been around a little longer than Kelly so she is the real Mrs Thielen.
