Happy Bday to my darling baby girl Sara!

I can't believe you are 5 years old! 2008 baby!

You get to start school next year. Well, kindergarten, is that still considered school?

Anyways, you'll be one of the oldest kids in your class when you graduate!

Me and Felicity have and will be the youngest of our classes.

Well, what can I say? You are the oldest daughter of a mix of chaos you call a family!

Your dearest parents have decided to move from May 2012 til Sept 2013 to Boise. And now have decided to return to home, without actually having a home to return to. So here you are living at my house for a week or so while yer mother trains in her new job, while your father looks for a job, and after the job is established I assume they'll have money to get an apartment to house you and your siblings. That seems like it could take a long time. But when you aren't at my house you are with Aubrey or Shelley playing with Rusty and them.

So far since I've lived with you for a few days, I can't say you are the nicest polite girl I'd hope you'd be. You open others' candies without permission. You throw and break things that aren't yours. I suppose that's normal for a 5 year old. Compares to your cousins I'd say you are a sweetheart.

Either way you are still mine and I still love you!

I see that your father has given up with his ideals of you 'doing everything he says'. He was determined when you were born that you would obey his every command and be a sweet little angel.

Your brother is soo dramatic its funny. And your sister is closely following suit. Arching her back and throwing a tantrum, my Maylee does that too following her older brother, Cole. Aw, the examples of siblings and the nature of man.

I wish I could quote you Dr. Suess's 'on your way' quotes or whatever from my favorite book, but I do not have it memorized. Yer juss growing up so quickly! Yer so tall like yer dad. Yer gonna be taller than me! And yer so smart!

I love you baby girl!

Always and Forever
