Quinn turns 4 and celebrates 3 years!

Our camera is still MIA in Plano, perhaps finding its way back about now but we are still punting in the photo department. We have another cheap Fuji we bought as a backup but while the resolution is higher until we bought a new card for it it only held about 4 pictures! So we don't have much in the way of photos for Quinn's birthday and what we have...well not our best action shots lets say.

It feels like such a short time ago that we were holding Quinn for that first time. She never did cry that day (she's certainly more than made up for it now!). This kid has the best smile , if you are lucky to get one out of her on her grumpy days but she has grown up in so many ways these past three years. She is no longer a rash ridden, bad haircut, noodle girl. She is smart, funny, precocious, and of course stubborn. She is such a hard worker at speech therapy and has gained so much ground that she will hopefully be discharged later this summer. Removing her tonsils and adenoids in January has also done wonders for her sleep, eating habits and disposition. She is a sweet loving child and very organized and nuturing to her siblings and stuffed animals.

A funny story just the other day she was playing upstairs with Pierce when she came down to to tell me that she needed help becuase Pierce was "stinky" (she is the resident poopy patrol). I thought that she was just asking me to come change him and she was, in a way. When I got up there she had one of his blankets spread on the bed (to catch any messes) and there was Pierce legs up in the air waiting for me to finish off the diaper change. She had the diaper off and had wiped him down for the most part, and I was totally amazed that Pierce 1) let her change him at all and 2) was sitting still through the whole ordeal. Even with the stinky mess it was a sweet moment (guess you had to be there).

Anyway to our Quinnie who turned 4 on May 17th and who celebrates her 3rd family day with us on the 31st, hugs and kisses xxooxx from mommy and daddy! You can change Pierce's diaper anytime!
