Flowers for Sophie

I know it's Sunday but no Scrabble Sundays post today. Instead I wanted to write a post for my little niece Sophie. Poor little girl had her appendix rupture last night and is now in the hospital for up to a week. She's only 5 years old. I can't imagine handling that kind of pain when you're that little.

I wish I could go visit her and bring her some cute things to cheer her up. Instead I will have to do the next best thing and send her internet flowers. Please send some sweet positive thoughts her way to help her recover quickly.

I love you Sophie! Feel better my sweet girl!

New Hampshire: My Pretty Sophalou

My niece Sophie is seriously one of the smartest kids on this planet. I'm 20 years older than her and she teaches me things. She taught the boyfriend what a puffin when she was like 2. She has been a teenager since she could talk and is going to be a world famous fiction writer one day. She spends all day narrating stories that are very good. It's amazing the detail she puts into them. "Play with me" usually means sit here and listen to this story I will create or watch my interpretive ballet dance.

I love her silly and delicate nature. I love that she eats her dessert with her pinkie up while her brother uses his hands to shovel every bit of cake in his mouth. She is loving and lovely. A very special girl indeed and I love her to little Sophalou pieces!

And just for fun her "politician" pose. I have no idea where she learned this but it's her new go-to pose for pictures. SO funny!

PS. She got dresses up that night because my brother, her uncle, was coming over for dinner. She loves him that much.  Isn't that so cute?

XOXO,

Tenley

Off to New Hampshire

Less than 24 hours till we get to see these shining faces again. I absolutely can't wait!! The above picture was taken in October of 2009. I made the awesome mistake of leaving my camera out and they took these little gems to show me how much they love me. This was the last time I saw those little faces. I miss them so much!

Here are some more pictures from our last trip there to get me even more ecstatic about seeing them tomorrow:

Oh, how I love them!

XOXO,

Tenley
