Happy Birthday Sweetie Girl!

Today she turns 6.  That spunky girl in sun-kissed braids, cowgirl boots and her "birthday" dress - the one she's worn for the last two birthdays.  The dress keeps getting shorter but there is no end to the twirling and dancing.

Lucy Hope, you are a bright, curious wonder of a girl who brings joy and surprise often as you internalize the world around you and speak words to make sense of that world.  You are reading anything you want, speaking in Spanish and doing math lickety split.  You dance, sing and create art with color and vibrance that light up any day.  You are our Lucy, and remind us of the "light" for which you are named.  We love you so and are grateful beyond measure for you as a dear daughter - a sweet treasure - our Lucy girl.
