hello again!

i stopped for a while because i am so bad at technology and get frustrated that i can't make it look better - but i am back. i don't want to forget these days and the details.

future - you want to be a chef, but it will really just be a cover because you will truly be a spy.

(but i have to say that you spend most of your days in the kitchen cooking so you better start working on your sleuth skills).

you are a constant blur of movement and energy. always ready for fun. when i can get you to slow down for a minute you will read me a book or two and you are learning fast! you help me around the house when you get inspired. last week you hid in the playroom for an hour and wouldn't let anyone in until you had the closet perfectly clean and organized. right before christmas you locked your door and surprised us with a spotless room with decorations set up for a family party. we set out a blanket and ate the brownies you had baked.

you are one of a kind.
