26

Twenty-six years ago today, this little

 "bundle of joy"

 came into our world.  

And in Kerry's case especially,

"bundle of JOY"

is exactly what she has been from day one.

From her youngest of days,  

I think anyone in our family would agree

that Kerry brings fun and laughter to our lives.

She's not one of those extroverted, life of the party types.

She has a special kind of quiet, creative sense of humor which pops up when you least expect it.

She has always been this way. 

In the photo (above and below) you have sweet, tender Adam.

Then you have Kerry!

Very frequently she makes use of things around

her in unique and creative ways.

A blanket.

A frosting decorating tip.

Spoons.

A soda can.

Dough.

Straws.

Little hands. 

Often the prop is a food item, such as Girl Scout cookies.

Pie dough.

Pasta. 

Frosting.

Raspberry pie.

Freshly picked strawberries.

Chocolate toffee bars.

Snapchat filters.

When our family gets together, 

Kerry's absence changes the dynamics altogether.

And I can honestly say that Kerry's mood 

can make or break a family gathering.

So on this day, Kerry, I wish you all the best that

life has to offer.  

You were my perfect little girl 26 years ago today,

and you still are.

Happy 26th!

With Love,

Mom
