Advent Ribbon 2018

Lyra, your sweet Daddy, sent me this picture on my phone.  He said you like to play doctor and use your medical bag.  It makes me smile when I see this picture because I had a doctor bag at your age and eventually became a nurse.  I am so glad you like to help others, you are thoughtful and kind and we love you so much.  Diva and Poppa

Lyra Jane,  This is one of my favorite pictures of you and your sweet Mommy.  She loves you so much and will be your very best friend.  She knows you better than anyone else and loves to sing to you and your sister.  Take good care of her.  Diva

 

Lyra here is a picture of all your cousins sitting on the Aunt Suzy’s and Uncle Tim’s front swing.  Emma 11, Oz 9, Charlie 7, Henry 5, You 3, and Lucy 1.   Poppa and I love having all our grandchildren together.  We may have to get a bigger swing next year.  Diva

Lyra Jane here is your crazy family bowling together.  It was fun to watch your Daddy try to beat Poppa.  Your Mom was the best bowler...Diva was the worst.  We had a good time together.  You and Henry did very well (better than  Diva).  I always enjoy having my family together.  Diva

Lyra, when you first got to Auntie Suzy’s house you were tired and overwhelmed by all of us.  Your big cousin Oscar, did a very kind thing for you.  He took you into the library and started reading a book to you.  You enjoyed it very much.  I could hear you laughing.  Diva

 Lyra Jane, want to know a secret?  Sometimes being a big sister is even better than being a princess.

Love you to the moon and back again.  Diva

 Lyra Jane, I love your smile and I love to hear you laugh and play.  I think that happy girls are the prettiest girls.  You fill your Diva's heart with rainbows and happiness.   Diva 

Lyra, I may not see you every day or talk to you every day, but I think and pray for you every day. God is watching over you.  I know because I ask Him to.   Diva

 Lyra, any day spent with you is my new favorite day.

  We love you, sweet girl.  Your Diva and Poppa

Lyra Jane,  I love hearing your Mommy sing “You are my sunshine” to you and your sister.  You do make us happy when skies are blue.

I love your smiles and sunny disposition...We even like partially cloudy.   Smile...Happy Looks Good On You.  Diva

 Lyra, do you like Winnie the Pooh?  He is one of my favorite characters and I love that silly old bear.  “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”  Winnie the Pooh.  I feel the same way whenever we have to leave you and your family.  Take good care of your Daddy.  Remember, he is my little boy.  Diva

 Lyra Jane, little girls make the world sweeter.  We are so excited that there will be 3 special girls in Texas for us to see.  We love you so much.  Your Diva and Poppa
