A Southern Belle

Dear Readers, If you are like me, I don't get a lot of time with my sisters just to talk, laugh, and just be crazy. Yes, we are together ALL the time but it's not the same as when we just sit and spend time together and not rushing to get things done. With Bess in college now there is even less sister-time. Though I am enjoying my time with my lil' sis Victoria! The other day Bess was studying and Victoria and I were in her room just sitting and taking pictures (the rest of the family were either doing something or not at home) and finally we got Bess to take a break and take some with us......We had a great time and I think we hadn't really realized just how much we need that time together. So here are the pictures.....as long as you promise not to make fun!!!! LOL :p Cuz we wuv each other!!! <3 The three musketeers  I LOVE this one!!!!! Victoria's face is classic!!! Hmmmmmm....... This picture was so much fun to take!!! It...
