My Favorite Youngest Sister

JoEllen has quite a following. I have had at least 2 people tell me that when they have kids, they want a JoEllen. Gwen taught her to love art; often they color or paint together. Beck can testify to her love for drawing pictures for people. Almost any newcomer will recieve a JoEllen-drawn portrait of themselves. She is playing her first year of basketball this year, and is doing a great job. Unfortunately, I was only able to see one of her games, but she did a great job in that one. She dribbled, which is a big step for an eight-year-old in their first year playing.
JoEllen, you need be my buddy and stay short with me. Tall is so overrated. =) Plus, you're my only hope of not being the shortest in the family!!
Love you!! Keep up your cheerful spirit!
