One of the many great things about Melissa is that she is a loyal friend. She keeps in contact with her friends that have moved. Here she is with Lauren, who has moved, but remains good friends with. Thank goodness for texting & facebook!

She loves to be silly! These are the kind of pictures I find of her!

She is great with little kids, too. Kids gravitate to her. She plays with them & makes them feel special. She is a great babysitter.

Here she is with Turner, Reagan, & Aurora

Happy Birthday Turner!
