Happy Birthday Bella

Bella and Emmie at school today.




Miss Bellou is nine years old today!! My fearless, fabulous, deep thinking , wonder. You floor us with your wit and wisdom, and once you loosen up you are the one who gets the part going!
You sure know how to have a good time. You're our little germaholic, and are always worried about getting sick. You monitor everyone's hand washing. That's probably why we've been so healthy this winter(knock on wood)

You have the ability to make us to make us laugh at the most unfunny moments. Once when Peter was taking Bella to gymnastics, and she was dilly dallying he threatened to leave without her. She yelled back from her bedroom, "where are you going to go?" Now normally a remark like that would be followed by a time out, but Peter and I just looked at each other and burst out laughing. Her logic caught us off guard. I mean where was he going to go without her. Was he going to take himself to gymnastics?

We love your spirit Bella and I'm excited about where it will take you. You have a beautiful heart and compassion for others, you know how to rely on prayer, and you love the orphan. All admirable qualities for a little girl of nine. You make us proud everyday.

Enjoy your special day today. And remember... I love you more!
