When I found out that my sister was going to have a little girl, I was excited. Another girl. I’ve said this before. I love the boys but there is something about the girls that touches me.
She has a loud voice. When she is upset, you know it. She’s unlike any of the other babies. She is very vocal whereas the others tend to be a bit more quiet. They cry and throw tantrums but nothing like her.
I have a feeling that she is going to be one of those kids that always gets your attention.
I don’t know her well. She is Kooper’s sister and, like Kooper, I don’t see her much. Granted, she’s only a month and a half old, too. I hope that changes.

Miss Willow and her cousin Lillynn
Happy Birthday! I hope you do something fun today.
It always trips me out about your Willow. I’ve spent so many years fielding questions about my sister Willow and the status of her name, mainly “Is that her REAL name?” that it just blows my mind that another Willow actually exists.
