Audra is SEVEN!

Seven!  Audra, you are growing like a weed! Changing so rapidly right under our eyes.

 Past milestones:
Six and a halfSix ,Five, 4 1/2,  Here's 4 , 3 1/23 years, 2 1/2 years2 years 18 months,  12 months,  9 months?  6 months?  3 months?  Just being born ).

While you are not one for silence and you never like to be alone, you, my girl, are the life of the party. Fun, excitement, energy, lover of new things. You're up for it all and you never tire of new and exciting things.  If we could keep your life full of fun things and oodles of people and free from any task you view as hard or annoying, you'd be thrilled!

You remain our resident animal whisperer and animal lover. You hardly play with toys, but you spend your days shifting from animal to animal. You not only love them and play with them, but take good care of them too. All of our animals truly love you.

You are certainly love to be read to and love your audio books. You like to have an audio ready to fill any possible second of silence.  You vocabulary is exquisite, and you told me today that you know a lot of words because that's what happens when you listen to audio books. I never know what you'e going to say, but you are clever and witty. You make me laugh all the time.

Your favorite sports are definitely ones you don't have to wait. You love to swim and you love to ride your bike. You also love to ride horses. You outfit of choice are short flowy dresses and skirts so you can run or long formal dresses so you can pay 'old fashioned'.

When you get into your crafts, you dive in.  You love to make little cards, folded up all sorts of ways with hidden messages in them. We could probably wrap our house a few times with all the crocheted chains you've made. When you get sewing, you certainly can crank out an elaborate project with some help. You also love to write-on your typewriter, in your journal, on the tiniest little scrap of useful paper.  Creatively spelled messages everywhere.

You are an excellent and adventurous eater and eat all sorts of foods. You graze on anything and everything from the garden and also gather and eat wild edibles. You love salads, plain yogurt with drizzled honey with all sorts of fruit and homemade treats.

You love your family deeply.  Your parents, grandparents, extended family, plus friends who feel like family.  You take SUCH good care looking after Anna-Kate.  When you are gone, we notice how much you really do to help out with her.  You say Adrian is your best friend. You can easily strike up a conversation with anyone, you regularly challenge yourself to see if you can get someone to smile, and you have the heart to serve others.

You are the one who keeps us on our toes, that's for sure!  The spunk and laughter you bring to this family are irreplaceable. You are a barrel of fun and I am so lucky to be your mama. Happy Birthday my SEVEN year old!

Love, Mama
