baby sister birthday wishes
Today is Sloane’s birthday. She is my baby sister by 5 1/2 years. I may have mentioned before that all four of us siblings are adopted. I vividly remember the day we brought her home.
I had an older brother and a younger brother but I wanted… no, I Needed… a baby sister! I was so proud and excited to be getting a baby girl, of my very own! As you can see in the picture above, with the whole family standing in front of the Catholic Social Services building, I was all business and raring to get my baby home. I can’t tell what all I’m holding there, but it looks as though I’m taking the responsibility designated to me quite seriously!
Before Sloane turned one, we had new puppies too!
There’s nothing better than a new baby and new puppies!
At least, not when you’re the six-year-old big sister! Pictured L to R: Dennis age 7 1/2, Andy age 2 1/2, Linda age 6, and Sloane age 6 months.
I love you, Sloane!
Then, now, and forever!
We shared a bedroom, so that last line is most certainly true!
Happy Birthday, Sloane. I’m looking forward to celebrating with you tonight! xoxo

These pictures make me happy:)
I love the picture of when you brought her home! Happy birthday Aunt Sloane! Love you!
OK I DID HAVE MY EYE MAKE UP ON PRETTY GOOD TIL NOW!
I love you big sister! xoxox
Upon further observation I think you were smiling because you had someone to pinch and make cry!
What a great adoption success story! Happy birthday to Sloane from me, too.
Oh, that cuts deep! I had no idea, on that very special day, that I would not be happy when you were sleeping. I just wanted to have you wake up so that I could hold and and sooth you. That is the only reason my little 1st grade self would come home from school to find you sleeping, then give you a little pinch to wake you up. I couldn’t help it if it made you cry. :-0
Linda, both you girls were a wonderful blessing, I remember you all on your happy arrivals. Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday. Happy Birthday Sloane!!!!! xoxoxox
Thank you Colleen and Marjane!!!
Beautiful story. There isn’t much stronger than sisterly love.
