{ Happy 8th Birthday, Bean! }

How on earth can you be 8 years old?  Oh Bean, you have such a radiant and infectious personality, truly!  We celebrated your birthday at Ga Ga's memorial day picnic and then again on your birthday here at home.  You were born at 11:40 am and we had you blow out your candle at that exact time.  You got a lot of great presents this year, as always, including a bike from Daddy, Andy, and me (which you ride brillantly without training wheels now!).  We love you so very much!  Happy Birthday, Ava!
