Aspen

Well...due to my hectic lifestyle I'm late posting about Pinelli's 16th Birthday. Sorry Pinell. I'm not going to post silly pictures this time. Even though we got some great shots of your friends during the pie eating contest! I just want you to know sweetheart....how proud I am of you, how much I cherish you, how much joy you bring to my life. You were such a funny little kid Aspen, so smart... well beyond your years. You never played by the rules. I remember looking at you as an infant and thinking to myself, wow, she has old eyes and in a way she's a little intimidating. It was so wierd, because grandma said the same thing about you! An old soul. I look at you now and I think...wow, she is going to be an extrordinary mother. You have this side of you that never ceases to amaze me. Such compassion, whether it be old people, mentally challenged people, deaf people, people who get picked on at school. The list goes on and on. People may not know that about you. You have befriended them all when at your age most kids scoff. Never loose that sweetheart. You are special. You will and are going far. I can't wait to stand back and watch you soar. You bring along my heart on the ride.
I love you.

Congrats on passing your test for the learners permit today....Woo and Hoo!!!!!
