Happy Birthday Scarlet and Belen!

Yesterday (March 3rd) there were two important birthdays in our family. (I tried to get this blog up yesterday but either the internet or the website would not let me - ugh!)

Scarlet turned 2! I just love being a grandma. Scarlet is getting more fun every time we see her. I can't wait until she really knows who I am and is as excited to see me as I am to see her. Do you think that's possible?!

She reminds me so much of Kacey. I can't wait to see if she is a bossy little know-it-all like Kacey was. Well, in her defense, she was the oldest and pretty much the boss so I guess it was natural. My hope is that each one of my kids has at least one child just like them so I can do it all over again. How fun would that be? Especially when their parents have to do all the work and I just get to enjoy them!

I don't have a great picture of Scarlet that is recent. I know - what kind of grandma am I? But you can see how big she is getting... Happy Birthday Scarlet!



It was also Belen's birthday yesterday. She turned 19. She is one of our exchange students. She is from Hermosillo, Mexico. She is so warm and kind. She brings a lot of sunshine into our home. She loves kids and she is so happy when Rhode and Scarlet are here visiting. I think she gets the most sad when they leave! She is going to Las Vegas for spring break and I think she is more excited to see Rhode than to see Vegas! She will be with us until school is out in June.

Happy Birthday Belen!
