Nine years ago...

this sweet, beautiful, little (only 6 lbs. 14 oz. and 18 inches) red-headed baby joined our family...

 Yep, still sweet, beautiful, and red-headed!
(but not so little...in fact, she is about a head taller than most of her friends!)
I am so thankful for Brynlee.  She is my little mommy.  She is the first to get Olivia when she is crying, loves to play with and entertain Trevor, and loves her dolls.  She really is sweet and very thoughtful (and also very stubborn...let's not forget the color of her hair!).  Last night when I asked her if she wanted me to bring in a treat for her class for her birthday at lunch or at the end of school, she said at lunch so she could play with Trevor at recess.  When we walked in the cafeteria, she ran up to Trevor and scooped him up in a big hug.  How cute is that?!  And it's also pretty normal for her.  Those two have a special bond.  She loves to play school with him and teaches him letter sounds and addition.  Then they come to me to show me what Trevor has learned and she is so excited that he is so smart!  When we are with extended family, you can usually find Brynlee playing with the little ones.  It's no wonder that the two things she wants to be when she grows up are a teacher and a mom.

Happy 9th Birthday, Brynlee!
