A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Happy 16th Birthday Nic!

I can't believe that you are 16 years old and a junior in high school! Time has certainly gone by fast since I first held you in my arms. You are growing up and exerting your independence and making your own decisions. You have learned that choices have consequences - good and bad. You are getting more interested in the news and caring about the world you will go out and work in. You love your brothers and they love you back a TON!

Nic, I hope you have a wonderful 16th year full of learning and growing! I love you to the moon and back 1 million 5 thousand times, and YES that is a lot!
