Get that lizard, kitty.
Get it!
HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY, ABI!!!
Four Fantastic years ago this little nugget joined our family in the middle of our VBS (Vacation Bible School) week. On Tuesday I was walking the stairs to our third floor< sixth grade classroom and on Wednesday I was induced and we welcomed Abi to the world.

Abi Grace! My goodness how the world would be a sad place without our crazy Abi.
We adore you! You are so unpredictably fun. We never know when you’re going to photobomb a picture or cheese it up.
You have this life and energy in you that is enviable. Oh and that smile…. it’s always been there… your utter abandonment to joy… with that twinkle in your eyes…
You and your crazy hair (especially first thing in the morning and post-nap).
You and your crazy delight.
You and the randomly and hilariously crazy things you say with such a straight face. My goodness, I’ve added years to my life in laughter. [Like this morning when you asked for breakfast to be “Cookie cereal and a tomato.” “A tomato?!” I responded and you said with the most straight face, “Yeah, I’ve never had that together before.”]
And those expressions. I swear I’m seeing a glimpse of your teenagehood trapped in your now four year old body. HA!
Abi you are a hoot! You add such spice to life. You are our perfect middle.
And YES, today FINALLY is your birthday. And YES, today we are FINALLY going to Chuck-E-Cheese (how dare we say ‘no’ when you have been harboring pictures you’ve drawn Chuck-E for weeks).
So from your Mommy, Daddy, and the rest of your cohort we wish our crazy, hilarious, dramatic, comedian, rambunctious, irresistible, passionate, delightful, spunky Abi Grace the happiest Fourth Birthday EVER!
– Love you so!

Another Mailed Treasure
And while you had a little preview of the mailed treasure this past Friday through the form of a little boy’s utter and uncontrollable joy, I wanted to share a few other reactions to another sweet package from my dear Darlene. I know she doesn’t send packages so she can get credit, but I want her to see those sweet faces she has reached out to again and again from across the country.
Let’s start with Mr. Happy:
Seriously you could send Mr. Happy a box of rocks and the kid would be THRILLED!
But I’m glad you choose practical gifts. 😉
And then there comes Ms. Smiley:
Nice choice on the ice cream cones. It spoke to her heart… seriously, the kid is three. 😉
And then there was Ms. Screamer:
“SHE SENT ME A TUTU DRESS!!!!”
Nice choice, Darlene. Well done for sure.
And then came the Emotionless:
Nevermind her look of mild disgust, she’s just trying to figure out the glittery tissue paper. 😉
Her later response:
That’s right, flabbergasted. Hehe.
From then on my job became making sure the littlest ones did not eat too much, ahem, tissue paper while the other ones RAN ABOUT THE ROOM screaming in joy about their coloring books.
So thank you again, dear friend.
You have blessed them indeed.
