Seven!

 Our Delaney-delight turned seven right before Christmas!  What a sweetheart she is!  She was trooper on her actual birthday.  We had set out to drive to Michigan early that morning and we all know that she is NOT a morning person.  We were 20 minutes into our drive and we stopped at Chik-fil-A for her breakfast request...and then we realized that she had forgotten both her glasses and her shoes!
Delaney brings a smile with her wherever she goes and brightens people's day on a regular basis.  Her teacher is always commenting on Delaney's sense of humor--she always gets the jokes that might go over other first grader's heads. She is a kind sister, happily right in the middle of our gang.  She is bright and silly and full of enthusiasm.  Still a tenderheart with a sensitive nature.  She loves school and anything competitive about it. (Watch out Brinnly--she's eyeing your AR record!) Her favorites are still owls, crafts, fairy books,  chicken legs, hot dogs with relish, Eeyore, electric blankets, and sleeping in.  We are so blessed that God placed her in our family and look forward to another year of blessings ahead for her.  We love you so, Delaney Fay Ward!
