Happy Mother's Day To My (Annie's) Mom

Ok, yes, little Annie in her yellow sun dress looks adorably innocent, but the story behind the picture tells a whole other tale. On one of many trips to Pittsburgh's Kennywood, Annie hopped on her favorite train ride and grabbed the choo-choo rope, but then a mean little (or by mom's account, twice Annie's size) boy boarded the train and yanked the string from little Annie. Never one to back down, Annie punched him the arm and rightfully reclaimed her job as the train's choo-choo gal. The little boy? He learned a life lesson from a cute girl in a yellow sun dress. My mom always encouraged me to show my spunk and is always the first one to spot my feisty streak brewing. I will always be her "baby Annie Lizzie" and that's fine by me. :)
