Three Lil' Lees: My song.

My song.

The best, most memorable, most thoughtful gift I have ever received was my song. Many years ago my dad wrote my mom a song for her birthday. We all got to hear it and as soon as the song ended I said, "Oh Daddy, I would love it if you would write me a song." He said, "Maybe when you get married." Well, he did just that. Just a few weeks before my wedding he gave me my very own song. After numerous hours of writing the music and words and having it recorded, Daddy gave me the most priceless and thoughtful gift I have ever received. A song. My song. Words carefully chosen about me. Beautiful. I'll never forget it. He handed me the lyrics along with a letter from him. Daddy and I danced to it at my reception. Well, the standard was set and there were two sisters to follow. Of course they got their own song for their weddings as well. How many girls can say that their daddy wrote them a song? Thank you so much Daddy. I love you.

Cade

age 7

This boy loves skunks, writing, blueberry muffins, taco pizza, a fierce game of hide-n-seek, and a great story. He has broken the world record for the number of times a person can ask "how do you spell..." in one day. He is a great big brother to Landry. He butts heads with his lil' brother Cannon and has been known to complain from time to time. He is brutally honest and calls things like he sees them (which is refreshing at times). He is handsome and tender-hearted. He has a short list of who he shares his affection with. I am thankful to be on the list. He is my sunshine.

Cannon

age 5

He loves lions, the color green, bananas, popsicles, sports, anything dangerous, and being funny. He is the kid that manages to look dirty by the time he takes his towel off from getting a bath. He is passionate. He can be hugging you and in a split second be having a complete meltdown over his shoes not going on as easily as he thinks they should. He is confident, strong, and handsome. He doesn't like anything that is "girl stuff." He can tell you about any ACC team and their mascot. He also holds a world record for asking "who is winning"the most times while a ballgame is on. He is cuddly and sweet. He is my chocolate cake.

Landry

age 4

She loves changing her clothes, wearing her "fast shoes", eating apples, and brushing her teeth. She loves pigs, pink and baby dolls. She really loves boy stuff just as much as her babies. She is sweet and loving. She also can be a little bull-headed. She likes to go places and see people. She is smart and fast. She is pretty and charming. She has a cute sense of humor to go along with her stubbornness. She is just what I needed. She is my twinkle.
