Happy 26th Birthday Bri

It's June Fif...as Bri used to call it 

before she figured out it had a th! 

(And why would we want to correct such a cute thang.)  

Brianna 

was born 26 years ago today...

our beautiful baby doll .

Chelsea had 2 baby dolls to play with

As luck would have it, 

Brianna was brought home to this chicken pox diseased duo 

...who couldn't wait to get their hands 

on their new baby sister.

Anywhoo....

As some of you know...

our nickname for Brianna is 

Wish, Wishy, Sweet Wish, Wish Queen of America

Her nickname comes from the Cinderella song 

"A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes." 

I would sing her that sweet Disney song at bedtime, 

kiss her goodnight and 

whisper "goodnight sweet wish."

The funny thing is as time went on...

she started asking for another request before I left her room.

Maybe another sweet Disney song?

naw... 

Her favorite request

after she let me humor myself with that sweet sappy song...

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

(to heck with the Disney song mom, let's get rowdy.) 

That should have been my clue way back then...

our Sweet Wish was gonna go to 

college in Boston,

work in the Seaport District, 

live in Southie

and be a wicked monsta Red Sox fan.  

Apparently I should have sung
a boisterous rendition of

"Take Me Out to the Ballgame"...

kissed her goodnight and 

whispered 
goodnight Sweet Caroline...
ba ba ba

so good, so good, so good

Neil Diamond approved

Happy Birthday Brianna
