Happy Birthday Zoë!

(I typed the draft to this on 6/17, but her birthday is today, 6/18!)

We can't believe that our first born is 8 years old! It seems like last week we were bringing her home from the hospital - just a tiny little bundle in the back seat of the car.

Zoë is a beautiful little girl and a wonderful daughter, sister, grand daughter, cousin, friend, student..I could go on and on. We love to watch her grow, learn & develop her talents. She has quite a little testimony and is not shy about sharing it with others. She has a great future as a member missionary and will no doubt influence many people throughout her life. Zoë is so excited to get baptized in July and can't wait to start attending Activity Days starting next Wednesday. We love you Zoë!

Birthday breakfast - chocolate chip pancakes w/ chocolate syrup!

Zoë has an adventurous side, too!

Looking at your kids brings back so many memories of Chevy Chase! becuase she looks so much like a Campbell. How fun! I had my first baptism last year. What an amazing experience!
