It's my baby sister's birthday. The little redhead who used to suck on the fringe of a handmade knit blanket and go by the nickname Gubberdoo turns 17 today! I think both my mother and father would agree that she’s growing up way too fast. She’s an impressive speaker of French, aspiring neurosurgeon who has been studying for her MCATS and practicing sutures since she was 15 and a world traveler who spent her summer bopping around Europe and will be heading to Sierra Leone this spring to volunteer her time on a service trip. I love you Karen and I'm so proud to be your admiring big sister. Happy Birthday!

Gooberdoo *might* just be the best sister nickname ever!
Happy Birthday to your sister! My youngest sister turned 18 last year and I kept thinking, wait, if SHE'S 18, then that makes me...
Time flies. Little sisters are the best.
Thanks everyone for the warm wished for my sister. She says she cried (the good kind of tears of course). And Belinda and Annette, welcome!
very impressive little sis! happy (belated) bday to her!
