My beautiful, strong, smart, kind, sassy girl turned 7 yesterday. She inspires me, keeps me on my toes, and is my greatest teacher. What was life before her? Watching her grow, flourish, be a great friend, and the best big sister has been the greatest gift. Everly Gene — you make my world go round and round. I love how curious you are, your negotiating skills, the way you fall asleep next to me in bed, and how much you hate it when I cry. I love how you insist that Bear is your baby and how you’re always there to comfort Ford when he’s sad. You are the coolest girl I have ever known, and I am honored to be your mama!!
