You Make Me Happy...

I just can't believe 15 years have passed since we were blessed with this strong, spirited, caring, beautiful, and generous little gal.   

So calm and peaceful.

--in this picture. 

She was rather vocal and discontented her first year. 

But has been wonderful all the rest.

Say What???

 Gotcha! Little imp.

 Little cross-eyed imp!

 Ahhhhh!  Fun and Silly!

 Now at 15!  Make a wish!

Ahh, ya missed one!?

Love ya, Miss A.
