I can't believe Claire is 4 years old today. She is growing up so fast. She is so mature for her age and she uses words that stop me in my tracks most days. Her vocabulary is so vast! The other day we were driving in the rain and she saw some cows in the fields we were passing and she commented that they were getting wet. I told her that it wasn't raining that hard and the cows probably didn't mind the rain very much or they would go into their barn. She said, "People don't like to get wet in the rain. We wear raincoats and use umbrellas for protection." Huh? Where did she learn the word protection and how did she know to use it in that context?
Her party isn't until Sunday, but I didn't want to wait until then to post and wish our "baby" a "Very Happy Birthday!" She has truly brought so much joy and laughter into our home. She is the most perfect fit that God could have ever engineered for our family. She is truly sent from Heaven.
Here are two pictures of our girl that I took today. In the second one she is showing us how old she is!

Happy birthday to the little sweetheart! I've been thinking about her all day! Hope she has a great birthday!
Happy Birthday! So beautiful!
Lindsey is the same way with words. She often chooses just the right word for things and it's not the simple word, it's something more precise. She amazes us with her vocabulary.
Beautiful as ALWAYS! Those Guizhou girls are just something! Happy Birthday!
Blessings,
Sandy

Happy birthday - a little late (I am catching up here)! What a gorgeous 4-year old -- she looks (and sounds) really grown up!
