Eight

365 days seems to just fly by.
It feels like yesterday that you turned 7.

And now you're 8.
You've had such a great year.

One of trying new things,

and being a part of a team.

A year with lots of hard work,

an amazing discovery,

and 10 minutes of fame.

Time spent traveling to far away places,

and spending the day with your best friend,

Having so many adventures- feeling the sun & wind on your face,

and the cold tingle of more snow than you've ever seen before!

A year of playing games (and loving when you win),

drinking milkshakes (too many to count),

being obsessed with your DS,

making a lifetime of memories with your dad,

and with me.

You are determined, smart, thoughtful, kind, inquisitive, hilarious and just generally a really good kid.

Hi Little Sis!
The other night I sat down for an hour and got caught-up on your wonderful life! You're a gifted writer and I can hear your voice when I read your posts. I'm so excited that I'll be able to hear your voice in person in August!! (and then I can laugh with you instead of just laughing at what you write -- you always were funny!) I love the last picture of Cooper on his birthday post. It's great to see his beautiful face and I can see that the scar healed! Miss you! Hugs, Alison
