Notes From My Girl

My Viv is so sweet.  She is always writing notes for us and others.  Notes of encouragement, notes of thanks, and notes that lift your spirits.

I am so thankful for my sweet girl.  She brings so much joy to my heart.

Melts My Heart

Vivi wrote a book at school the other day.  A book about 4 dogs that work together to find some food since their cupboards are bare.  The dogs names are Lenny, Woo, Stucks, and Woll.  (Love the names!)  Cute little story.  But the dedication page is my favorite part.

 

Love that girl.

What a Doll

My girl Viv... There's nothing else to say other than she is just the sweetheart of all sweethearts.  Honestly, I don't know how I'd get along without her.  Whenever we head out to run errands, I know she will have a purse that is packed with snacks, bandaids, books, crayons, and paper.  Anything someone might need, she is sure to have.  It's like she has a Mary Poppins bag.  And the funny part is that her purses are not all that big.  How does she fit all that stuff in there?!  I don't even remember when she started doing this, but it has been some time ago.  I'm sure she started doing it because I never seem to be quite prepared enough.  "What, you need a tissue?  You're going to either have to use your sleeve, or let it hang on your face until we get somewhere that has one.  Oh, wait. Vivi's got you covered."  And she doesn't pack her purse full of things with herself in mind.  She packs bandaids because she knows how often Preston needs them.  She packs snacks because she knows her brothers are ALWAYS HUNGRY.  She even packs treats to use as bribery when we go places.  I can't tell you how often I've heard, "Buds, lets make a deal.  If you be really good in the store for mom, I have a special treat here in my bag for you."  Like I said before, I don't know how I would do it without her.  She is such a thoughtful, wonderful little girl, and I hope she never changes.
