Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!

Well, that's the title of a Fannie Flagg book that we all enjoyed. But today for you, Laurie, it is actually, Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!


March 31, today is your birthday!!!! Happy, Happy Birthday.


It seems that you were just a little baby days ago and now we have all of these little babies that you are so crazy about.



It seems that I was just holding you and now you are holding Bennett (over the stream that flowed between ponds this weekend.)


It seems that I was just reading to you and you reading back to me............


and now you are reading to all of these babies.......................................



And enjoying them as much as I enjoyed you at every age.




I love you and I am very proud of the woman that you are.

I love how you love all of your family........







And how you always entertain us.................painting parties.............





..................... letterboxing .................................



.............................. blogging...........................introducing us to all of these new friends..............





And just by being yourself. Funny girl! I love you !



We all love you and enjoyed your birthday dinner. Thanks Les for cooking!
