Over the summer, Dad and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. The day of our anniversary you made us a card which read, "happy anuvrshure. To: Mom and Bab From: Olivia. Underneath lay a great big red heart. On the inside it read, "have a happy anvrshre. hope you have fun. I love you mom and bab." love, Olivia.
There are so many times you make my heart melt. This was one of them. Thank you.
Love,

Comic Books
Dear Olivia,
You reading has simply taken off for the year of 2013-2014. You are pretty much reading anything you want. You have the desire, the determination, and you tackle new words and experiences on a daily basis. One new thing that you have gotten into is our treasure chest of the comic "Calvin and Hobbes." We named our cats after the comic strip simply for our love of it. You recently have immersed yourself in the comics, but it wasn't until a week or two ago while we were driving in the car did you really start "getting" the humor of the comics. While we drove, you had your nose in the comic book when out of nowwhere you burst into giggles. I asked what you were reading and you showed me a strip that was rather funny. What a joy you are, Olivia. Your upbeat attitude and willingness to try and not give up is quite commendable. Thank you for all that you teach me about enjoying life one day at a time.
Love,
Your mama

Serving others
Dear Olivia,
A couple of weeks ago I was delivering a our service project's chemo kit to Kim Loosle. Prior to that we had delivered a necklace to her that read, "I can do hard things." Kim has cancer, so we are trying our best to be supportive toward her in her time of trial and need. Kim was thankful, and then brought to my attention something you had done without my knowledge.
During Primary we had told all of the children about Kim and explained her situation about losing her hair, and the need for the kids to stay home if they are ill. After you learned about her cancer, you drew a picture and wrote the words, "Get better soon," then you delivered it to her.
This is exactly you. Always thinking of others well-being and expressing love. What an excellent example of charity.
Love,
Your mama
Extended Learning Program
Dear Olivia,
A couple of months ago we decided that it would be fun to have you take the Extended Learning Program test. The program is for exceptional children who have higher thinking and the ability to problem solve in a graduated manner. We learned last month that you were accepted into the dual immersion program (where you can learn Spanish also), at Emerson Elementary School.
I wasn't expecting much, but we were so pleased with your joy of learning! You truly love school, love learning and embrace every opportunity to learn all about your world around you.
How impressed I am with how you are growing. You are kind, thoughtful, perceptive, willing, forgiving, and such a happy girl.
You teach me so much about loving, respecting others, and thinking outside of the box. I thank our Heavenly Father every day for bringing you to me.
Love,
Your mama
