happy birthday LB!!!

My beautiful one is eleven!

We're having a fun day today just being with her and doing nothing in particular...no school! Meg is taking her to see Fireproof this afternoon and I get to go too.

My favorite memory of LB is when she was about 5 sitting at the kitchen table with her cousin Tate. Tate is just a few months older. LB started preaching the gospel to him right then and there. Tate would change the subject to action figures or something but she would steer him right back. I listened from a distance wondering how far she'd get and being very proud of her for relating it so accurately. When she was all finished, she added ..."And a wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands a foolish one tears hers down, WHATEVER that means!" Apparently we had just memorized that and she knew it must fit in there somewhere.

Here's some cute stuff about my cutie....

~She has read her Bible all the way through.

~She is our only kid to get stitches. Twice.

~She loves everything beautiful but is a bit rough and tumble too. A good mix.

~She has a solid sense of right and wrong.

~She hates wearing shoes.

~She is very good with little kids and will be a good babysitter someday.

~She has a special job at church of greeting and passing out bulletins.

~She is a good friend to everybody and never meets a stranger.

~She's hardly ever in a bad mood and usually wears a pretty smile.

She scored big points with her brother today. She couldn't decide about her b-day meals and went with his suggestion. Birthday meals are VERY important to him!

So here they are...

Breakfast- donuts, fruit, eggs, and juice

Lunch - special sandwiches w/chips

Dinner - chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes & gravy

Happy Birthday Baby!
