Happy Birthday Auntie M

To my Sistah who is kind, thoughtful, creative, smart, funny, a good dancer, a confidant, pretty, adventurous, loyal, honest, and so much more. I love you.
P.S
I love you more than twist cones, a Volvo, and kisses.

Veterans Day

My Dearest Dustin-
Thank you for answering the call of duty and serving this wonderful country and her citizens. Thank you for the sacrifices you made and continue to make that allow me to wear what I want, sing what I want, and worship where and what I want. Thank you for calling me every day no matter how tired you were. Thank you for the letter you sent me on Valentines Day. Thank you for telling me everything was okay even when it wasn't. Thank you for being brave. Thank you for being courageous. Thank you for being kind. Thank you for being a friend to all. Thank you for reminding me to look forward to Sunday drives and snowboarding at Beaver. Thank you for telling me you loved me every day. Thank you for being a soldier.
Love always,
Libby

Hats Off to Naomi's Laugh

Dear Uncle Rico-
I learned to laugh recently. I laugh when my Mom and Dad tickle me. Especially when they tickle my neck and my sides. I laugh when Auntie M plays peek-a-boo with me. I laugh when Daddy gives me raspberries on my feet. I laugh when Mommy tries to imitate my noises because only I know how to make them. I laugh at the ribbons Aunt Grettle gave me. Today my Daddy did something especially funny and I laughed really hard.
Love,
Naomi

Dr. Office Fun

Today I took Naomi to the doctor's office to get a rash on her stomach checked out. She has had this rash for a few weeks and no lotion has been able to rid her of her red, scaly tummy. Before the doctor came in to check her out, Naomi started doing this.

After Naomi was done squirming around on the table, the doctor determined it was just excema. Nothing a little Eucerine can't fix. After the doctor left the room I got Naomi dressed and she decided she needed to see the stuff that was making such a wonderful noise. So she did this.

My mom had a great idea to give her a roll of wax paper for Christmas. That's a great idea considering how much fun Naomi had at the doctor's office.
