| Alena Jane-10/5/2009 |
For her birthday, Alena took popsicles to school. Daddy picked her up early in the afternoon and we all went to Monkey Joes for a little fun. She had a great time. We celebrated her birthday the following weekend when my brother and his family were in town from Colorado. Alena specifically asked for a green tractor and a small ambulance for her birthday. We had a great party and were glad so many people could help us celebrate.

Dear Alena,
You have grown into a beautiful little girl! You have so much energy and love to run. We will be surprised if you do not follow in your mom and dad's footprints and become a runner (hopefully a hurdler). You love all sports, and are especially good at dribbling a basketball. Your teachers comment on how athletic you are. They also comment on how bright you are-by now you nearly know all of the letters of the alphabet and can spell your first name. You can count to 20 easily and can sometimes count higher-you are so excited to start preschool next month. Lately, your new favorite word is "actually," and you know exactly when to use it. Unfortunately you are a picky eater, like your mom was, and meal times can be challenging sometimes. You love to read and have memorized many parts of books. You continue to love music, probably because we have listened to music since the day you were born. You know so many songs! We love listening to you sing at night after we have put you to bed. Sometimes these singing sessions can last up to 45 minutes! One of our favorites is "Take Me Out To The Ballgame." You have become a great big sister and have adjusted well to having two new infants in the house. You are fascinated when they poop and help entertain them when they cry. You've even helped with a couple 4 AM feedings! We know you love your brother and sister very much and are always excited to see them when you get home from school (especially Caleb :)). Happy 3rd Birthday!
Love, Mom and Dad
