Today my little, nay,
long and lanky girl turns 12.
Happy Birthday, Liesl!


I remember well the day you were born: those alert big blue eyes taking in the world. You've always had an intensity about you -- even as a toddler you insisted on "self", doing by yourself anything your 3.5 year older brother did. With determination and grit you did it, too!

Now you're a young lady -- graceful, funny, still intense, and amazingly generous & wise.
Someday soon you'll be breaking boys hearts, but right now, you're perfectly happy hanging out with your family, friends, and pets (I know you'd have a whole zoo if we let you!).
You have a great sense of "self" --

don't ever let peer pressure take that from you. Stay true to yourself -- you're unique and wonderful.
