Sweet Meredith

Thursday morning Mallory ran downstairs to show me what Meredith had left for the kids. It was these sweet letters that she had written the night before and taped to their bathroom mirror. Now that Meredith leaves so early for seminary the kids don't get to see her in the mornings, so this was a treat.
When I read these I thought about her saying she is sorry she gets impatient... her impatient is really nothing. I don't think she knows how to be impatient. She is the most patient child we have. I know I may be a little bias but I think she is the sweetest girl I know!!!
How lucky we are to have her be the oldest child. She sets such an example to the other kids.


Meredith, you always make me want to be a better mom!!! I love you!!!

That's IT. I am driving over the Cramer kids to your house right now. Well, after I pack all their belongings, I mean. Right after THAT we will be right over. Clear your bedrooms out for three more kids.

How sweet! She is so thoughtful to do that for her younger siblings. I bet they keep those forever! I hope my kids always love each other as much as that! They do now...but I hope it continues as they grow!

I have always thought Meredith was a sweetheart, but oh my gosh! You better hang on to those - the kids will cherish those one day.
