Annie, Marianne, JarJar Binks, Sister, Daughter, Wife, Aunt, Mom, and Cousin! Those are the many names my baby sister answers to.
Annie is the baby of 9 kids but she is the tallest girl! Maybe Michelle is taller but I don't think so!
She had the advantage (maybe disadvantage) of having 5 older sisters to lead the way!
She is goofy in her own little way but is able to laugh at her goofiness!
At one point during the awkward teen years, she strongly resembled JarJar Binks. She even had a poster of the Star War's character on her bedroom door. I remember coming home from college and seeing the poster and thinking someone was being very mean to my baby sister but then even I could not deny the resemblance. Plus Annie thought it was hilarious!
Annie is very loyal to her friends and family.
I remember being at the Hays' home (neighbors from church) when Annie was born. Dad called to say it was another girl and told me they were going to name her something odd like Millicent. But then he said he was kidding and asked if Marianne would be ok.
I remember Annie being a garbage collecter with Maria. Those two would fill baggies full of trash and stuff them in the corners of our room which was literally bursting at the seams with 4 girls in it!
This is a song I remember singing to tease Annie!
Annie Pannie Puddin and pie, kissed the boys and made them cry. When the girls came out to play Annie Pannie ran away!
Annie is pregnant with her 3rd girl and is the only one in our family to have more than 2 girls and to have kids all of the same sex. Maybe she will get a boy someday!
Annie is on the medical school journey with her husband and I wish her the best of luck! It is not an easy thing to do. But I know she can do it and I just pray she will learn from some of the mistakes I made on the same journey so it will be easier for her and her family!
Happy Birthday Annie! I hope today is a great day for you and that this year will be awesome with a new home, new baby, and one year closer to being done with school! Love you!!

Love all the memories! I guess I hadn't done the math that she is the only one with more than two girls!We have the best family! Little nervous about tomorrow be nice....
You're so sweet! Unfortunately Annie wasn't so kind to me growing up - so I look at this as payback time! :)
Thanks Punky! Sorry I missed all your calls today. I was on a date when you first called and then just now on the other line with ma and pa. I'm fighting a darn cold from Aida, so I'd call you back but my voice is almost gone. I'm going out of town tomorrow and will be back Thursday, hopefully I'll get to talk to you soon! You know it is due to that little Annie version of Georgie Poorgie that I did not register as Annie when I went to kindergarten!
