What can I say about this girl?
Obviously.
And, in case you couldn’t tell from the pictures, she’s pretty stinkin’ smart, too.
She sleeps.
She laughs.
She plays.
What’s not to love?
When I was talking to my sister this morning, she asked me what the kids thought of Miss Vivi.
So I asked Sophie, who Vivi had been shadowing all morning….
“Sophie? What do you think of your new little sister?”
Without hesitation Sophie answered, “She’s awesome.”

Some day you're going to have to tell me how on earth you keep up with it all. We only have 5…4 at home and we seem to be behind on EVERYTHING! What's your secret (and I bet your answer would be very funny…but I mean it….I don't know how you do it…but would love to hear more about it. I still remember the old bus story…hearing how you got the kids up and ready in the morning…that was toooo funny!).
