Valerie turned thirteen this week and had a great time. I wanted to put some baby pics on (she was sooooooooo cute!!!!) but our scanners don’t work so I am posting these for now. She has been waiting patiently for her Ipod shuffle 
and finally got it (first pic), and she also got a cake decorating set and nifty cupcake thing, as well as a special Girls Of Many Lands doll which she’s wanted and Grandpa found for her! For her bday dinner she chose cornish game hens w/apple-cranberry stuffing, mother’s dinner rolls, mashed potatoes, etc We had lots of fun and are so happy that we have this sweet, loving daughter!
