Seven.

Barrett makes her say "Sister Suzie Sittin' on a Thistle" every night. And we all have a good laugh. She's actually singing "All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth" in front of the school today. (If only I had a dollar for every time someone has said it to her in the last few weeks).

And because I have been wanting to record this for her for a while, seven things I love about her:
  • She's always happy. She really is.
  • She's oozing with creativity. It's rare to find her without a pile of scrap paper, crayons, scissors and glue within reach.
  • She gets excited to do things for people.
  • She still loves to cuddle.
  • She loves to make lists.
  • She has big dreams. (She's even writing a chapter book :o) )
  • She loves to hear me tell about the day she joined our family. And I'm so glad she did.

How Cute is that! I love it when kids have both teeth in front gone at the same time- looks like they play way too much hockey or something! Too cute!

It makes me so sad to see your girls growing up and not getting to know them anymore :( When's that Disney Cruise coming to fruition???

I love that list of things about her. She seems like such an amazing daughter. And I love that picture of her. She's adorable.

I was just singing the praises of 7 on my blog today. Amen. It's the greatest, and she's darling.

Love love love the toothless grin! I have only one more child that will sport that look. I know I say this all the time but . . . enjoy their youth. Seven today, seventeen tomorrow!

Your kids are soooo darling!! You are also an AMAZING photographer. Can you come to UT in a few months & take my baby's 6 mo pictures?? Ok so that's a lot to ask but seriously if you are here I would love to pay you to be my photographer.

Breathtaking photo and what a sweet girl you have there. You'll have to post the video of her singing for your class.

thank you for your post on cjane -- it brought tears to my eyes. This is the image that I have of men in the church too, it is a shame when such ill things are thought of the men of the church (although of course they are perfect). I think there are many many more good than bad.

Thank you again, your words and story were powerful.
