Today is my Big Sister Melissa’s birthday. I think that birthdays are important, especially the milestone ones. If you’re feeling so inclined, could you head over to her blog and leave her some birthday wishes? Feel free to add her to your RSS feeds and readers while you’re at it. Viva Snail Mail is just lovely.
Speaking of lovely, this is Melissa (and her daughter, Ruby):
As if it was just for her birthday, this was on Passive Aggressive Notes this morning. Viva Snail Mail, indeed!

They are both beautiful!
We’ve got a good looking family! 😉

All the women in my family are totally gorgeous!
A day late but…Happy Birthday, Melissa!
I think your sister is really cool. : )
Hear, hear!
My sister is the best! I bet she’s worth like a bazillion Martha points.
