Happy 11th Birthday!

Dearest Jennifer Kate,

You are a treasure to me...

Shall I list just a few things that make me smile when I think of you?

I think I shall...

I lurve to see you with your daddy. For you are a daddy's girl to the max.

I lurve watching you with the other man in your life--your big brother, David.

I love how your relationship isn't perfect, but how you extend grace, and mercy beyond your years.

I love your sweet attitude with our own animules, as well asanimules we wish were ours...Careful Kody--no biting.

Lurve that you lurve a good book, and that school is fun for you...
I lurve that you have your priorities and vocation in place. ;)

And that you can play nasty on the stage, but at home, are only nasty .00001% of the time. Hey, nobody's perfect.Your pure, amazing joy and love of life tickles me.






And, sweet Jenny, a.k.a. "Drama Girl".


It thrills me, and I love so much that you never stop reaching for the heavens.



God bless you, my daughter.


And thank you, Jesus, for sending me this daughter.


For I am richly blessed, indeed.
Love, Mom
