Dear Alyncia,
First they told us you would not live, then they said you may live but your quality of life wouldn't be any good, well... I am not sure how one measures a quality of life but 7 years later you are doing amazing. You are smart, witty, athletic, and beautiful. You are such a joy to us! We spent your birthday boating at Chatfield with the Lawtons. We had so much fun! They pulled a tube behind the boat and while it took some persuassion to get you to do it once you did you wouldn't stop. All the other boats kept stopping and remarking on how cute and tiny you were on the tube. You kept giving us the thumbs up sign which means to go faster. We couldn't stop laughing you fearless little girl! We had a few minor problems on your birthday first I locked our only set of car keys in daddy's car when we were getting water out of it. We decided it was best not to ruin his day so we didn't call him until 3:30 after he was hot and tired and worked a long day. He took it relatively well. Then as we were leaving Chatfield Amy's power stearing broke down in her car and we had to wait an hour for AAA to get there and tow it. 7 of us and a dog then piled into Max's truck to head home. We had originally had plans to do dinner with grandma and grandpa at your favorite place, Chili's. Instead we stopped at Chick-Fil-A. You told everyone it was your birthday and the employees gave you a pink balloon and a stuffed cow and let you make your own ice cream cone. You were so excited to go behind the counter to make the cone. It was the highlight of your day! When we got home at 9:30pm we were all tuckered out. I asked you how your birthday was and you said one of the best ever! We are having your friends party next week, but I dare say this day was great fun! I just love to see how excited you get about everything! You are just always happy and you love life so much! You make me want to embrace it just to get as much enjoyment as you! I am so grateful for these past 7 years and cannot wait to see what this next year will hold! I love you with all my heart and then some!
Happy 7th Birthday Alyncia!
Love,
Mommy
