Charlotte turns six!

Dear Charlotte,

First, let me start by saying, I am sorry.  I some how deleted the photos from your birthday party.  I know that your Mom and other family members took plenty of pictures, so don't fear.  Either way, I hope you forgive me for my mistake.  I guess adjusting to the iphone has it's draw backs.

Without a doubt you are a leader.  You have a mind of your own and you are not afraid to speak it.  It still cracks me up (sometimes), when you want to do something and I say, "No", only to get from you, but "Daddy you don't understand, I just want to...", fill in the blank.  You will not get walked on, that is for sure.  You do what you want to do and you beat your drum to it's own beat.

Charlotte you are so caring.  It does not matter what or who it is.  You love to give hugs and just sit next too, on top of, or around people you care about.  We can read a book together, wash dishes together, or just watch TV next to one another.  You love that time.

You are hilarious.  I do not know where you come up with some of the things you say.  And when we laugh at you forget it.  That only opens the door for more of the same.  If you have an audience watch out.  You do not let up.

You are the best helper.  You are willing to do anything:  Dishes: check, folding clothes: check, painting a room: check, using a hammer: check, cleaning up your toys: not so much.  Okay, almost anything.

You are fearless.  There is nothing you won't try.  You are willing to try new foods, touch and hold different kinds of animals, and ride any time of ride.  I think I should make you where a helmet all the time because you really don't have any fear of trying new and adventurous things.

Finally, I just love you.  You are an amazing little girl.  Sure, you are a challenge now and then, but you are everything we prayed for.  You are a strong, independent, little woman.  You are super intelligent and have a bright future ahead of you.  I can't wait to see what the next year brings, as you continue to grow bigger and brighter.

Love ya,

Daddy

We found out all about the fearless funny girl you are on our camping trip last summer. Brynn and Lydia are still laughing over how you saw a snake and told us let's get a stick so I can poke it. We love you sweet girl.
Love,
Aunt Karen, Uncle Richard, Brynn and Lydia.
