I'm BACK -- With a Birthday!

I won't spend too much time on where I've been. The most important thing, for now, is that I'm back And I'm back BIG...Because SOMEONE is turning 5 tomorrow! What an amazing five years it's been with Kendall Lee! I was asked tonight by my friend "what were you doing 5 years ago at this time?" I had to think a little bit. I think there's a good chance that I was staring into Cooper's crib, wondering how in the world I would ever love someone as much as I loved him. And then I may have went on to wonder about how we were all four going to survive our new life!
But survive we have.
Kendall, Kendall, Kendall. You are absolutely hilarious. You are amazingly fun and you are more than precious and perfect. You have a mind of your own and a heart of gold. You cry when you don't get your way and shed tears when your friends are sad. You love to make up rules to games and you love to draw pictures for your friends. You have 3 boyfriends (that we know of) but your Daddy is the love of your life. You absolutely brighten every minute of every day and you absolutely make our dinnertimes much longer than they ever should be! You're as frustrating as an old mule when it comes to bedtime and you melt our hearts with your sweet "I Love You's" (even if they come at 9PM when you should be sleeping).
Thanks for making us laugh and giggle and find the funny in everything we do each day. Your smile makes my heart warm and fuzzy and I love that you would do anything in the world for me to give you a backrub. I'm sad that you're growing out of "Dora"(ok, not really, but what it symbolizes) but thrilled you still sleep with your tiny flannel blankets. I love that you tell me I'm your best friend and I pray you'll still feel even a tiny bit of that in 10 years. You are completely enjoyable to be around and we love, love, love every tiny little girly, stubborn, silly thing about you.
