Happy birthday to the almost-6-year-old! We know 5 kids who were born in Jan. and Feb. of her year, and I cannot believe those kids are 6 already! We just passed 8 1/2 the other day. And, if I remember correctly, there's another Feb. birthday in your family...

Helene: Absolutely priceless. (I just didn't want to use that word. {g})

Cathy: I can't believe it either. I also can't believe 8.5, especially when I remember newborn!!! {shaking head} And yup, mine is in 4 days. But nobody much cares about mine, in comparison. :)

6 and 8.5? Try 16! [s]

Have a wonderful party. I hope it's everything Child hopes for and more.
