Happy Birthday, Miss Almanzo!

Miss Almanzo turns 4 today! She has requested a chocolate cake with coffee icing and "white" ice cream. I really like her tastes! She is the most American of the Ethiopians. From the moment she lept into my arms eight months ago, she has never looked back. She has made herself right at home. So in honor of her 4th birthday, here are 4 things about Miss Almanzo:



  1. She has the most dazzling smile, infectious laugh, and sweetest voice imaginable.

  2. She absolutely wants to be older and get to do all of the things her older brothers get to do.

  3. When she grows up she wants to marry her friend Colin or her uncle, Big "T" (or Big Coffee as she refers to him. She missed the point that it was the initial "T" and not the hot beverage "tea" and then got confused and substituted one hot beverage for another, hence the Big Coffee. We all kind of liked it and now refer to my brother-in-law as Big Coffee.)

  4. She is definitely a Pa's girl. She prefers him over anyone.

Here is a photo of Miss Almanzo enjoying her Happy Birthday!

I think that the character Big Coffee is the most interesting thing you have written about. He must be some kind of stud. I can imagine his ruggedly handsome face and chiseled body. Although not the feminist that Ma might find attractive - he is surely the kind of man that most women fantasize about. Including more of Big Coffee's exploits in Little House on the Sandhills will surely bring you some notoriety. I can't wait for more.
