Funny, just last Wednesday I was telling Drew's previous teacher that I realized what is particularly different about Carrie. She doesn't laugh! Not at all, really! When tickled in the right spots, she will let out a small "Ha" or tiniest "teehee"... but NO laughing! Drew used to quiet entire diners and restaurants with his long, hysterical laughter that was way bigger than his little body. But Carrie will just smile bigger, no laughter.
Well, Saturday was my birthday and my mom, Carrie & I went with Drew to his gymnastics class. While sitting in the bleachers I was trying to keep Carrie occupied and I starting tickling her and nibbling on her. No different from other times really... except that she laughed HYSTERICALLY! I was SO excited!!! She did it repeatedly and I was so thankful for the best birthday gift she could possibly give me!
It hasn't happened again since.... so it really was a gift just for that day. Hopefully her laughter will come back as a regular part of her life, but for now I say, "Thank you, Lord! You & Carrie really made my day!!!" As did my mother-in-law for telling me I still look 30!!!! :)

Oh, happy belated b-day my girl. I am so bad at those kinds of things...forgive me! Oh, and Ma Conk is right, and as Liam would say "you are a hot mama"!
YAY Carrie, good way to bless mommy!

What a wonderful gift! (From both Carrie and your MIL!)...looks like Drew's contagious laughter has rubbed off on his sister!
