Shannon

All smiles while watching the boys play soccer

Shannon...the bouncy blond that draws attention every where she goes, has pushed and yelled her way into our lives, fighting for airtime over her brothers. She is very assertive (whether by nature or necessity) and has been known to stand on a stool in the middle of the room and shout, "All right everybody, listen to me!" She usually just wants us to join her in singing a song. She sort of lives a two faced life being the girl after two boys. I once found her walking daintily along our deck singing, "I am a princess" sporting a track from a bulldozer as her crown. (I tried to get the picture to insert here, but looks like it'll end up in a separate post.) When we went to get her picture taken she didn't want to stand still but wanted to play soccer with "my guys" (as she refers to her brothers). When the photo shoot was over and I suggested she get changed, she said she wanted to keep her skirt on so she could "twirl."(As she gracefully flexed her wrists and did a ballerina pirouette).
