The Kent and Sue Fabbi Family Children.
Here are some random memories that have been wandering through my mind today...

Meet Jen. She is the oldest child and my only sister. She's very smart, very beautiful and started my addiction of collecting children's books, signed ones especially. She just wrote her dissertation, which I know absolutely nothing about. But she will have her PHD soon. She was valedictorian of her high school, the same high school that my mom was valedictorian, exactly 20 years before. Isn't that amazing? She has an almost 16 year old son, Caden and a daughter, Jensyn, who is almost 7. I used to be the coolest Aunt, until she became one, when Ella was born!
One morning as I was driving to UNLV, I think it was during my student teaching in 2007. Anyway, I was putting on my make-up in the car, like I did every morning and as I stopped at a STOP sign, I noticed someone in a car right next to me putting on her make-up as well...it was my sister. We looked at each other and just laughed. We have these defining moments like that, when there is no doubt that we are sisters! I love it, because we are very different at the same time.

Jas comes up next, he's my older brother. He's in college, enjoys hiking and recently earned a certification for Jewelry making, which he is very good at ! He loves to polish stones and make cool pieces out of them. With he and I only being 2 1/2 years a part, we spent lots of time together growing up. One of my earliest memories is of he and I sneaking in our chickens cage, pulling out an egg and breaking it. There was a baby bird inside. We were both so ill and guilty and just felt so terrible. I think that we cried for a good while because we felt so bad. We were at a very young age when that happened! I remember making, or watching him make forts in the front and backyards of our house on Warnock and playing outside all day. Jason lived in NYC for a few years between 2002 and 2005, I think it was.

Joe is the youngest of us 4. He is currently attending graduate school at UNLV, in English. He likes reading a lot and is taking a Spanish class right now as well. I remember sleeping in Joe's Ninja Turtle bed tent growing up and reading him lots of stories at night. I was always too afraid to sleep by myself. Hey, I never realized this before, but Joe? I may have part in fostering your love of reading!! Wow!! And I am like, the world's laziest reader ever now! Our girls love Uncle Joe-Joe. He chases them around my parent's house and just thrills them!
