Linnea

Linnea has been a beautiful addition to our family. She's happy, vocal, and REALLY silly. I love that she's such a people person. She's not shy and goes out of her way to make people smile. The other week at church she turned around to some of our friends who were sitting right behind us and the wife wasn't smiling so Linnea gave her a smile. Our friend didn't do anything so Linnea gave a bigger smile... nothing. So finally Linnea musters up all her silliness and gives the biggest cheesiest smile I've ever seen her give. Finally our friend cracked a smile and Linnea left her alone. That same Sunday Jacob took her with him to his classes and said she did the same thing to a couple other men at church.

Linnea loves her big sister and loves to play with her but needs alone time too. Emma didn't really want alone time so I'm grateful to have a daughter who relishes alone time. As I'm typing this she is laying on her back in the toy room grabbing at her feet and squealing. Such a silly girl. When I think about Linnea these words come to mind: Joyful, silly, sweet, smiles. I can't wait to see what life brings her. She makes the world a better place with her smiles.
