and speaking of birthdays

Just about exactly 5 years ago a dream of a young lady entered our and the world.  Now that she has grown up completely and we have the pleasure of her company at her "I'm 5" birthday celebration, it isn't such a bad thing to remember her in those first few hours as the evolution is, of course, night to day.  She both never looked this good and always has looked this good.  That really means that what we got at the beginning is what we have now; pretty pretty darn swell.

She has turned out to be fun, wildly imaginative, and possessing eyes that sparkle with both mischief and sass, intelligence and thought.

She laughs a lot and smiles often.  Traits we hope she never looses but then again we wish so much for her as we do all the grand kids.  She has wonderful parents who adore her and she them. All the wheels are greased for a good ride through life.

It is pretty sweet, all in all,  Happy Birthday.  See you tomorrow.
