EIGHT things about Chloe…

1. Just this year, she read over 200 chapter books.

2. Early this year she learned to bike without training wheels, learned to swim, tried surfing, joined a soccer team, became a brownie, and is in 2nd grade.

3. She loves to bake pastries and cook with mommy.

4. She makes coffee for us on weekend mornings.

5. She took pottery class and loves it.

6. She learned to sew.

7. She sings silly songs. All the time.

8. She started waking up early to see her Dad off to work.
DSC_5417Shane prayed for dinner tonight and he said,

“Dear God, thank you for making Chloe so we can celebrate her birthday…”

Amen to that!! I’m so thankful that you’re my daughter.

Chloe turned 8!

Chloe’s big mystery was solved today… she’s always so curious what I do with my girl friends when we go out. We eat sweets, drink sweet cocktails and chit chat!

DSCN3079 DSCN3082Thankfully Shane was at work last week and left me these awesome post-it notes. Whenever I have to bring the kids to work for various reasons, (school closing, snow day, sick day, etc…) they write and draw me sweet notes all around my desk!
