Happy Birthday Aunt Joanie!

Two good things today: Joanie's birthday and spring begins, even though it's only 11 degrees here. Here's what the kids have to say about Joanie on her special day-

"I love Joanie so much because she makes the best brownies." (Cole)

"Joanie always spends time with us doing fun things. She hardly ever says no." (Wayne)

And everynight when I put Heather to bed with her quilt (now that we got it out again since town meeting day) Heather says, "Joanie made dis. It so pitty." And she checks to make sure her teddy bear is tucked in too.

Happy Birthday Joanie. Thanks for all the things you do for us and with us. I don't know what our family would do without you nearby.

  2. Who is that giant of a child in the middle? Good lord he looks tall.
    Thomas says he also loves Joanie for the same reason as Cole.
    I just about wept when I read the last line, because sometimes we could sure use a Joanie nearby too! Hope she had a great day!
