i can't believe that on Saturday you will be 4..... amazing how fast this has gone. You have just shot up another inch and are now no longer a toddler faced baby. You are fast approaching big girl status and I am not sure I will ever be ready for that.

This thanksgiving is our first apart, I took you to Gran's for thanksgiving and will be getting you later Thursday. Then is it PARTY time for you sweet girl. We have lots of friends coming over Saturday to celebrate. Just like the day you were born, there will be a crowd to cheer you on and watch you enjoy your day. I am so grateful for you, my sweet and incomprehensible gift from God.

You have supported me with your kind heart and happy smiles. You have been my friend and source of faith walking around on earth
I am so blessed to be your mommy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK.

** comedic notes...
**you invite and un-invite pinky to your birthday party often, depending on what cereal she gets you or the mood she is in.
** you almost always are nakey in the house, its like you just see no need for clothes
** you think that any song that has a high pitched voice, is alvin the "chikmonk"
** you are certain that Pop Pop and Grampy suze live in a drives distance and often get mad at me when i say we can't go there today
**Waukee is short for Milwaukee and yo think when i go there for work i should only come home with princess gifts
** phoenix is not your favorite!

LOVE YOU BABY GIRL

Monday 10:03 PM November 27th 2006... best day ever!

Its time to catch up with Vara and Mommy... and PINKY. The summer went by quickly and now here we are in OCTOBER. So what have we been up to? We visted Pop Pop and Grampy Suze in California. We went to the beach, we went to the fair and met Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother. We had time to pick lemons and to enjoy the sun.

Pink went to CA to, and met us back in Texas for the final leg home. It was a great time and a memorable flight as Vara was dressed in full princess attire.

We have redone my room, with the help of the Church Ladies. Vara went apple picking with her daddy and cousins. And in general its been on the run for us. Mommy turned 36 and Vara is actively counting down the days to her birthday.

Tomorrow pictures and tonight a hair cut just before! WHEW.

Dance Classes at school, ballet and tap. We even got tap shoes.... that was an experience.
In all, the love of my life continues to remind me that this is all the way its supposed to be and that life in general, even when it feels bad is perfect as it is.
I love you Vara James.

I have been traveling a little to Phoenix for work and now you want to know what is there and what goes on there. You often want to see if you can go, and you want to know why I go. But when you are here behind, you know it is your jobs to take care of Pinky. The two of you have a betters system and you seem happy.

I love you, what a great summer for the most part.

Mommy

Gran's house. Just took a day to enjoy the pool, see your Cousins and love the sunny day. Sadly to report, the next day you had a 24 hour bug and threw up for hours.... even your feet were green! OH, BTW... you got Mommy good. Hair, clothes, carpet, bed..... did someone put you up to that?
