Dear Addie

Well baby girl you have turned 4!!!! I can not believe it! You are the most amazing little girl I have ever met. You are so friendly and caring that everyone loves you. You have dad wrapped around your finger along with grandpa and Aaron! Our neighbors adore you and all our friends. You love zach to pieces. You get so excited when he gets home from school and can not wait to see him and see what picture he has drawn for you. You started preschool a few months ago and have just blossomed from it. Your teachers say you are a leader in the classroom and I am not surprised. You know what you want and you will tell anyone who will listen. You have also started gymnastics and are loving it. You show me all your fantastic gymnastics as you call it. You love the high beam and ask to go on it at the beginning of every class and will walk across it on your own. You are such a smart beautiful girl and these last four years have been amazing and have flown by. I can not wait to see where this year takes you. I love you with all my heart. Love mom

Dear zach

Well today you turned 6!!! You have been waiting for this day for months...talking about your birthday and how you were going to be 6. And not only was it your birthday but you also got your first loose tooth! I feel like it was just yesterday that you were born..our little Buddha baby! You are an amazing big brother to Addie. So protective of her and constantly giving her hugs and kisses. And when it comes to being a little brother you always look up to Alex. Asking him to show you things and having him teach you. You want to soak up any information you can. You started kindergarten this year and come home everyday so excited to show us what you have done and talk about your day. You love to read and always come home with a new book to read to us. You are a very caring little boy and always want to help your friends and share everything with them. You have your days and moments of being stubborn but there is nothing wrong with knowing what you want and fighting for it. I hope you always follow what you believe no matter what others may say. I love you so much and can't wait to see what this year has in store for you! Love mom
