The first four years

Four years ago on June 9, 2004, Alexa was born in California. She came home with us about 6 weeks later. One year.
Two Three.
And FOUR!
My dear Alexa,
We are so happy you share your life with us. You have the most cheerful, outgoing personality. You reach out to strangers in grocery stores and doctors' offices and no one can resist taking your hand or smiling at you. This year you have begun to "talk" to us with your sign language. You love to eat many vegetables and fruits, but do not like breads. You adore the park and cry when we drive past it to Bible study. Curious George and other stuffed monkeys are your good friends and you play with them for hours in the laundry room. You adore books. We can't wait to see you grow in the next year,
We love you,
Mom and Dad
