When did Chickie AKA Payton Victoria D grow up and more important where did she get those looong legs?! Unfortunately not from her Aunt (me).
This is me, and Chickie's mom is the little one. Chickie looks like her, but that height didn't come from either of us. You can't tell here, but Becki's shoes were very clean and white. Growing up I heard my Mom make many a comment about whether a baby had her shoes polished or not!
This was my Mom holding Chickie. Becki worked, and my Mom babysat Chickie. My Mom was often too sick to get out of her chair, so she would sit and hold Chickie the whole day! I would watch Chickie when my Mom was too sick to even do that. My Dad was still around then, and my older sister helped a lot too. My Mom died when Chickie was 3 y.o., then I babysat Chickie until she didn't need a sitter. This pic isn't clear, because it is stuck to glass (sorry).
I took this at church this morning. My Mom would be so proud and glad that Chickie is at church every Sunday (Chickie loves Jesus, and she loves church!). I have fun embarrassing the kids (even at church) by taking pictures of them.
With her two sisters.
Chickie traveled with her parents to China while we were still waiting to get our Arden. She got to meet Arden in China before we went and got her.
Now they're best buds.

When the song stops, you can hear our church singing it this morning.
