Lalie

Logan Ann, our first granddaughter, celebrates her 9th birthday this week as well. We shortened her name to La (for Logan Ann) when she was little and it naturally became Lalie. Logan is a sweetheart who loves to create.

When I called her and asked what flavor of cake she would like she replied "Chocolate, with vanilla frosting. Make the frosting for the cake green, put pink hearts and yellow stars on it and I would also like some blue on the cake, and flowers as well--that will be good--Oh, and no chocolate chips please."

Logan loves her little brothers and is very nurturing. When she was about two she was curious about the things I kept hidden in my drawers, like makeup and perfume. Whenever she came to visit and it got quiet for a bit we knew where she was, and beautiful does not begin to describe what we would find.

One of her favorite things to do is lay in bed and have someone, usually her daddy, read her a book. She loves to ride the bus to school and fix her own lunch to take. I really enjoyed our trip to Forida last summer. It was fun to be with her, she collected every interesting brochure the rest stops had to offer--plenty of reading material for the long drive. Lalie and her brothers come for Sunday Dinner almost every week so I get to see her grow and she is growing into a beautiful young lady.

Gotta get busy on that cake! Happy Birthday, Lalie.
