A belated bday msg from "Jeffy"

A week late but the excitement is still there with your little party happening today.

To my daughter, the girl that has grown up in front of my very eyes. You amaze me everyday with your sly comments (you are really going to wear that Jeffy? you are so silly dad? don't embarrass me!) to the intense listening skills that i see in your eyes when people are talking around you. You soak it all up like a sponge. You are shy but I catch you dancing and looking at yourself in front of the mirror as if you were a movie star (you don't know i am watching).

You are the little girl that it never is burdensome having my one on one time with you every school morning (don't tell mom about getting treats). We are the two that get to school 10 minutes before everyone else and analyze the important things in life - example .. "why does it take the soccer field at school 3 months to grow when all 120 golf courses around us take 20 days?" or "why does it flood in our town when we have had .015 inches of rain".
You are the little girl that acts independent around me but makes me realize how much you still care when you make me stay until the bell rings for that goodbye kiss and hug. Keep it up little peanut.


Happy 7th!
Jeff
I love you em

(as you and bren find it funny to call me "Jeff or Jeffy" but i will always be your dad.)
