seven.

Happy Birthday to my favorite 7 year old.
(and I know a lot of 7 year olds!)

I love to hear you sing and play.

I love to watch you dance.

I love to see you run around with your friends at recess.

I love passing you in the halls and sharing a smile or a wink.

I love listening to you read.

I love your sweet smile... with all your missing teeth.

I love to see you becoming more confident, more outgoing, more adventerous.

I love to hear you play with your little brother and I can't wait to see you become a big sister again.

I love to hear you pray.

I love that you are mine and I pray that you will always know just how very much you are loved.

Happy Birthday, Sweet Sophie.
