I was born on November 10th, 1981 at the hospital in Mt. Kisco, New York. At the time I was born, my parents were living in Golden's Bridge, New York. Its not far from where my home is today.
I was the first child to my parents, Andrea and Lawrence and probably enjoyed being an only child for those first three years and almost three months...
Here I am during my first few days of life. Interestingly enough, I was born with a lot of brown hair. Although the brown hair did not last long (and did not return until October of 2000), I have always had a lot of hair.
There I am with my dad who, at the time, had a full head of brown hair. Notice the clown in the background. Well, that clown was made by a family friend at the time who also made me a matching blanket. As a small child, I must have liked the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall..." because I soon named my baby blanket, and the clown, Humpty Dumpty. That baby blanket is still one of my favorite posessions. Along with the wall hanging, it was one of the very few objects I gave a real names to.
Here is me with my mother, she looks pretty happy. I think I was a very good baby
Everyone always includes a picture of them in the bathtub. I wonder whose idea it was to bring a camera into the bathroom. Well, it seems I had a sense of humor back then.
My mother had forgotten it was picture day in nursery school and dressed me in my favorite sweatsuit, but due to my cute looks, the picture still came out well. I dont remember too much about my nursery school years besides from singing songs, but this right after the time that Lauren Pollak became my best friend my sister came into this world.
Jill, my sister, was very attatched to her bear blanket and bear pillow. Today that same pillow still exists. Over the years, however he name is has changed to manky millow. Jill is holding the pillow over her legs because she had nothing on the bottom.
This is my first or second grade school picture. I dont remember which one.
This is one of my many visits to Florida. I was in Grandma and Grandpa Schlissel's kitchen, I bet Grandma was taking the picture. It must have been around second grade because I had no front teeth.
Grandma Goldberg and I were attempting to do sexy poses..I think. Well, we definitly looked cute.
Jill's nursery school pictre. That was taken way back when she was still cute..ok that was mean, I was just kidding.
This is a picture with the Schlissel cousins, Erika and Elizabeth. We all look so cute in our bathing attire. I used to get so tan back then..I don't know what happened. This is one of many picture we have of the four of us, a picture is still taken of us when our families get together.
It was my birthday! I do not know which one.
Starting in 4th grade, bangs were in. So in 5th grade, although my hair was extra thick and I had never had bangs, I decided to go for it, and chop the front of my hair off. Although my bright smile and pulled back hair style makes for a cute picture, the bangs proved to be disaster. That was the first and only time I had bangs.
When I was eight years old my best friend Lauren's family and their friends were going to North Carolina for vacation and asked our family if we wanted to come. We went with three families: The Pollaks, Bendetts, and Vosks. The original group has sometimes grown and changed through the years but the original group remained. Last year was the last year we went, I doubt we will go back. I have had some great memories of North Carolina. Lauren and her sister michelle are like family.
