Peggy and Samantha

I found this picture last week, and I wasn't even looking for it.


My little sister Peggy with her daughter Samantha in 1992!
(I was 7 when Peggy was born and I use to carry her around on my hip like that.
So much so that my right hip bone is actually a little lower than my left.)


So time went by, and they both turned into this:

And now Sam is MARRIED!
We got to attend their wedding reception last Saturday night…
A perfect match.

I was really good and hardly took any pictures. I saw cameras going and decided to stay out of the way. 
See, I am learning. But it was SO good to be there. 

And what is odd to me….I only met Brian's Mom TWICE but I feel like I've known her forever. 
We can't figure that out. It's like she is so familiar to me.

Congratulations Sam and Brian!
Marriage is the BEST. Just ask my sons.

I think Peggy was the first baby I ever loved.
Many, many since then, but she is the first I can remember those motherly, protective feelings for.

Always appreciate old family pics. Will you run out soon? If so, let's do reruns.
