Lyssa

In costume for her high school's production of "Hello, Dolly" last week

I love my baby sister!!!!!!!! Alyssa is 7 years younger than me and 5 years younger than Brad--a surprise addition to our family. I remember putting my head on Mom's tummy waiting to feel Lyssa move around inside. When she was born, I was so excited and wanted her all to myself. Unfortunately, when they came home from the hospital, I was sick and wasn't allowed to hold Lyssa for a few devastatingly upsetting days. :) Lyssa is my favorite and only sister. In some ways I helped raise her, and I love to see her learn, grow and progress. She is a very fun loving, talented, goofy, thoughtful, happy, spiritual, intelligent girl who I am proud to call my sister. I am so grateful to have her in my life!!!

What a cutie!!! :)
