Thought I'd share a few of the layouts I have done in the past that have photos of her.
Playful: I love this first photo. She's the little one in the yellow bathing suit. I seem to remember this moment at Spruce Woods when we were little. Although we probably thought she was a pain in the butt at this point in our lives........we still had fun with her. I don't have the photo that happened right after this blissful moment........maybe we don't want to know. Maybe that's why she's never been a true mermaid in the water. What did we do to her?
House of Gold: I remember the wall paper. I remember the tacky linoleum. I remember playing with the farm pets we had growing up. But, for the life of me, I don't remember this dog!!!! It's funny. None of us do. Don't ya just love the red turtle-neck and overalls on me? And look at that mushroom haircut.
3 roomies: I've had the priviledge of vacationing with both of my sisters -- not at the same time (that would be CRAZY!!!!) -- but, on seperate occasions. Although my older sister & I had a blast together, I think the most special vacation was spent cruising the Caribbean with my younger sister. It was incredibly meaningful to watch her first reactions to so many things on our holiday. We were able to share so many moments together and I will cherish that forever. Thanks, Buff, for coming along and helping me through a week of work that would have been difficult if you had not been there.
Blissful: My younger sister has a complete wacky side of her and she is so funny....sometimes. This was a time when she was determined to ride this crazy, retro bike that my older sister has on the farm. She could hardly stay on the thing -- she was practically peeing with laughter. And so were the rest of us.
Picture Perfect: Although there are a ton of differences within us three sisters, I do not deny the similarities. We are too much like our mother -- and she's a pretty incredible woman herself. The three of us live so close to one another and we are so blessed to have children the same age, who love each other very much. So, I will never take my sisters for granted. I know this doesn't happen everyday -- that three sisters can see each other whenever we want. That we can share a bond so close that it makes people around us stop and take notice. 
Happy Birthday, Buffy.....a little late, I know. From your two OLDER sisters.

3. Carter is, again, learning to mow our lawn. It is so fun to watch him as he zips around on the mower. He is much braver than I think he should be -- going way too fast for his mother to be watching him. He sings at the top of his lungs the whole time (notice his mouth in this picture). I love sneaking a photo now and then.
5. I finally caved and gave Asha a 7th birthday party for her. She had been bugging me since......ummmm......March 31st!!!!!!! Anyway, last weekend she invited three friends over for a little sleepover in the basement. We put the big tent up in the rec room and they had some fun....camping in the basement. Now no more listening to "when am I going to have my party?" ('til next year). 
1. I love how he takes a special interest in our kids (all his grandchildren, actually). But the special bond he shares with Daria (my oldest / his oldest grandchild) is incredibly special. They just seem to always have this certain "thing" that will always keep them close. I hope, as Daria grows up and moves away, she will continue to grow even closer to her Pa.
2. Dad "tolerates" countless photos taken of him with his grandchildren. What a trooper!!!! Thanks, Dad. (Even Carter's getting involved in this one with his Auntie Lisa).
3. Dad, I love that you have taken a special interest in your girls' lives -- farming. You come out to help us during harvest, you take time to ask us & phone us about how things are going on the farm, and you come out to visit us often, fixing things around the house (okay........actually doing complete renovations on a weekend). I am so incredibly proud to say, when I drive by a newly built home, that "my Dad built that!!!!!!" Cool. Not everyone can say that in this world. We love your help on the farm........
4. My Dad is "a lover.......not a fighter".
6. Although technology is not his strong-suit, he's trying.......trying really hard. And it's evenings like when he & Mom phone because they've pressed a button on the TV and don't know what they've done and we're suppose to solve it over the phone..............that I laugh & love them more and more every minute.
7. My Dad is a listener, so when other husbands are doing this...........
.....my Dad is waiting & listening to every instruction.
8. My Dad has always put up with 4 women in the house. I think that's why he's so loveable, forgiving, patient, goofy & .........................demanding!!!! He's learned from his surroundings. And besides.................can you blame him?
I just got confirmation that we can now share some images from this new baby!!!! And this is not all. There are FOUR more new lines coming out -- they are just around the corner -- and I promise you I will share them as well.
