Sweet Lauren

So Carley's birthday went well. She had a few surprises after all.

I just wanted to share something sweet Lauren said. At the end of Carley's birthday day, I thanked Carley for having a birthday and expressed how glad I was that she was in our family. Lauren said in her sweet little voice, "We had to have a Carley. Carley had to be in our family so I would have a best friend." It was sooooo sweet. I wish you could have heard her matter-of-fact little voice.

I'm very grateful to have all my kids and for all the great things they offer to our family.
