phenomenal fourth!

Happy Birthday # 4 to our little phenomenon! As I thought of words to describe our beautiful little Michaela Joy, this is the list that came instantly to mind (each word needing a superlative modifier): brave, curious, lover of animals, resourceful, smart, sense of humour, playful, imaginative, loving, affectionate. And so many more...



Due to a power failure (go figure), I do not have access to my photos from Michaela's birthday party. So instead here is a photo of the birthday present we gave her. Michaela LOVES animals, and she LOVES movies, and she LOVES role-playing the animals in her favourite movies. I chose these animals because they represent some of her favourite imaginative role-playing: "Madagascar", "Brother Bear", "Lion King", and "Night in the Museum".


And finally, here are some of my favourite photos from a recent visit at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Dearest Michaela Joy, Grandma and Grandpa and Kazan love you and miss you so much! We can't wait till our next visit with you - very SOON!
