This post is for Cassie Ella in Boise, Idaho
I received the following text message this morning from my brother's cell:
"Everyone, I need your help. This is Cassie. Claire just called me and Jennifer is trying to put her in a flower headband the size of a watermelon. We need to stop her. Claire is worried that her neck cannot support all that weight. She said all Jen has talked about all week is making bigger headbands."

Cassie, while I appreciate your concern, can't you see how adorable Claire looked last night at her first party with a huge flower on her head? You'll notice in the picture below all you notice is her cheeks. She likes to wear giant flowers so her dad doesn't notice her cheeks so much and gives her a break from all the cheek pinching.

I had her wear this headband today for you Cassie.
Cassie, it's pretty amazing that a girl just shy of age 3 knows how to use her dad's phone to send text messages, and can read and write so well. Keep up the good work. We can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving.
