Happy Birthday Charley

Friday was Charley's birthday. She has blessed us all with her presence for 2 solid years now. For those of you who know Charley, she is one of a kind. She goes to the beat of her own drum, but has a heart of pure gold. Her laugh is unlike any other...it just makes me smile thinking of it. She can make you smile on the roughest days. I can not wait to get home and see her run to me yelling "daddys home". She jumps into my arms, kisses me, and all the cares in the world simply dissolve. I find it interesting how God has wired us to fit certain roles. Charley has a tremendous mothering instinct already. I love watching her care for her lil babies. Here are just some of the things she loves; her family, zena, dancing, her babies, singing (favorite song is "happy day"), shopping, playing in her kitchen, wrestling, and reading. These are just a few of many. Charley you are so amazing and special we love you so much. I thank God for you Charley and I can not wait to see how God continues to use you.

Well, as for all the kids birthdays we went to the St Louis Zoo. We had a great time seeing all the animals. Charley was able to go to the build a bear at the zoo and created a flamingo. It just screams Charley. We even got to see grandma peggy and grandpa steve because they just happen to be in St Louis. We had a great birthday lunch and finished the day with getting new shoes.
