annual apple picking at Aunt Sara's

Man, I love this kid.
I love all my kids, but this one is special. Heavenly Father sent him for me. He is just something else. Unlike his brothers, I don't think he has ever hit me (okay, I'm sure he did when he was two-- what kid doesn't?) but none that I can remember. He opens doors and holds them for me. He gives me hugs and kisses. And he makes Mike and I laugh like no one else can. But most of all, Daniel "gets it." He gets what life is all about. He's a friend to everyone. He lives in the moment with no inhibitions. He doesn't worry-- about anything (not always a good thing), he is carefree and is just happy. I wish I could take credit for him, but this old soul came this way and I'm just grateful that he came to me. Because I need him and our home would not be the same without this goofy little shining star.
