Also, Abe had allergy testing done and found out he is very allergic to grass. Those big welts are all grass. Littler welts include weeds and mold.

Clarissa lights up our lives every single day. She is eye-poppingly precocious, silly, fun and charming. I love it when she uses the word, “indeed!” She also says, “What the heck!!” to our continual amusement. When she really loves something (for example, a hat on the rack), she declares it her “one true love.” She adores unicorns, fireworks, rollercoasters, playing with her siblings, sugar, screens, pools, baths, rivers, fountains (water in every form, really), drawing, coloring, crafting, dolls, and all types of pretend. She does not like hiking, long walks, being cold, being hungry, being sleepy, and not being heard. She says, “uuuuugh!” when she is frustrated, laughs and squeals when happy, and cries when corrected. She is the cutest.

We all love you so much, Clarissa! Happy birthday!!!!
