The November Birthday Dance

Well since ooooodles of my family members have birthdays in November, I thought I'd make a post about them, just so they'd feel special: Here we go...Happy Birthday and I love you TO-

**Ryan Schmitz Nov. 2nd, turned 31
Many memories so far ryan: attempting to beat you a trivial pursuit, various things you've claimed to be the creator of or singer or writter and i've told my friends, you letting me cry and get mad when Lucky died, Being strong for me, when I had to say goodbye to friends, stealing the dinner bell at camp, always being there when I need you, growing up thinking my brother knew everything, I will cherish our relationship and all the memories we'll have to come!

Micah, you're so little, yet so precious to me! When your daddy called to tell me you were born, I cried, loving you very much! We will have a lot of time to make memories together, but so far, I love the time we wore several party hats on our heads, my teaching you to blow a noise maker, how tiny you were the first time I held you, you naming Moses Modep, and all the times you call me on the phone and sing me silly songs.

**Brandon Schmitz Nov. 5th, turned 10
Ah, little Bran Muffin. You're my baby brother, and you'll always be able to give me your sad eyes and get away with anything. When you were a baby, I pretended I was your mommy. I even fed and changed you, from time to time. We have many memories together so far, like our car trips to get ice cream, taking you shopping and to the beach, walking to school together your very first day, I'll always remember the look on your face when I gave you my new bike helmet, and the time you played joseph in the school play, and pet the girl that was a sheep. I love you bud!

Kaitie, I will always cherish you like a sister. We sure fought enough like sisters as kids! I'll always remember playing barbies in your room with the fake groceries and everything. I was always jealous you got a phone in your room and I didn't! We have thousands of baby pool incidents, and fort building times, playing bingo in grandmamans porch, climbing trees and riding bikes, buying way too much candy and laughing like idiots, kayaking not so well and disembarking on slippery rocks, crying together, prank calls from across the country, dancing spider-man birthday presents. I love you little cousin, you will always be in my heart

My role model! I was your shadow, cousin, in everything. We have a lot of times to look back on and look forward to! You taught me how to dive, we caught minows together at Papas, endured way too many brothers and male cousins, spent summers running in forests and fields, random visits where you came to school with me, buying me a little dog for passing my learners, many nights msn-ing about how terrible our teenage lives were, ending up catering your brothers wedding, plenty of nights under the stars in the tree fort, treating our little brothers like our babies and dragging them about. We spent our childhood together, and now we may be far apart, but I can always hear your laugh and see your smile when I think of you.

and if I have some far strung relative whom I have forgotten, I apologize and wish you good health, love, happiness, and comfort in family.
