six years of Joy

Michaela Joy of our hearts!

How your love and laughter and imagination inspire us all!

The mystery of you constantly takes me by surprise.  Like the time you wanted me to replay the same song over and over and over again until you had it by heart -  "Down to the river to pray" from "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?"  And here in this Christmas photo, what is there behind your Mona Lisa eyes and smile?

Wonderful big sister...

... and incomparable lover of animals...

...a very belated happy 6th birthday,

dearest Michaela Joy!

Your Grandma and Grandpa love you

with all our hearts.

And we miss you, sweet Princess!!!
