We are celebrating a little girl’s birthday today. Four years has passed since she came into our lives and even though she lives far away she lives in our hearts every day. We carry pictures of all the kids on our phones – on our desks – on the walls of our home! We love our grandchildren and we love Carlyle.

She is energetic, fun-loving, imaginative, sensitive and very smart. She has the ability to analyze, memorize and a wonderful memory. She loves purple – like her Mom. She loves veggies and protein boxes from Starbucks. She loves the outdoors.

And she loves her family – especially her little brother.
