I was raised in a family of two, my brother Clinton and myself. Clint was always there to scare away the bully from the playground, pick me up after I fell and chase me with a porcupine quill. I have fond memories of my Brother and I playing together. I also have memories of him teasing me relentlessly. He would often hold me down and hang a drop of spit over my face, telling me to give or he would let it drop. On a much nicer note I remember how much he hated doing the things that I liked but he would always give in and do them.
One example: Virginia Beach, VA late at night, HOT HOT HOT, AC is off at night. I would say "I'm Chip" over and over again until after about a hour I would hear "I'm Dale"(very slow and annoyed) and then i would sing, "the one and only sensationally, Chip" then in the most monotone voice you can imagine I would hear, (slowly) "I'm Dale." I love him....
I am the opposite of my brother, I am a game playing, loud talking, got to be around people, and have the last word type. He is very intelligent, computer savvy, has his college degree in business and English with an emphasis in Technical writing, and doesn't need to have the last word because his words make more sense than mine.
I know my brother loves me because he has never got off the phone with me without telling me "I love you Jenny." He has been there in the rough times and the good times, and has never judged me.
I love you Clint, Julie, and Leslie...

The chip and dale thing totally cracks me up. I can so very well imagine that little scene in my head. It makes me laugh.
He is a good brother to give into his little sister. Usually the older sibling thinks of something great to do and makes the younger one go get all the supplies to do that great thing. That is how it worked in my family. Tori still cringes when I say "Go get the tape!"
Little Leslie is a doll!
After meeting you I can't imagins you being loud and etc....lol. That's funny! I always wished I had an older brother from the many reason's you mentioned. Instead he was younger and I still control his every move (and his wives), j/k.
That video is darling! She's advanced for walking that soon. All mine were late blommers..no walking till at least 14 months. Can't wait to see what Brian orders you for x-mas through that magazine. I am sure yoiustayed up late last night marking pages and bending corners:)
