Joelle is definately the favorite aunt. I hate to break it to everyone else, but Annie loves Joelle. Who doesn't love Joelle! She is the sweetest girl in the whole world. Ever since Joelle (and Heather, Grandma, and Grandpa) came to visit this summer Annie has never stopped talking about her. She started out just calling her Jo, but now she even says the whole thing. It is cute!
There are a few things that have happened over the last couple of days that made me want to do this post. First, Annie loves to talk on the phone and she will now get the phone and say, "I want to call Joelle!" Second, we help Annie say the prayer, but she has just decided that she can say it by herself. The 1st thing she says in every prayer is "Thank you Joelle!" meaning thank you for Joelle. Then she thinks of other things to say, but that is always the first. Last of all, she has a baby that she calls Joelle. It is so cute to see her hold Joelle, kiss Joelle, and take Joelle for walks. It makes me laugh because the whole time she is using Joelle's name. "It's all right Joelle. Shhh Joelle. Wrap Joelle up mommy!"
I just wanted Joelle to know how much we love her! She is such a good example of love and kindness to everyone, but especially to all of her nieces and nephews. Thanks Joelle!
