kerry baby

happy birthday to my baby! kerry is 20! i can't believe it...for one thing...i'm not old enough to have a youngest child that is 20...ok, i guess i am...i just don't feel it...but, how can she be that old? kerry is such a beautiful person..inside and out...she is so much fun...so full of life...adds a spark where ever she goes...she's such a loyal person, her friends and family are lucky to have her around...she is so artistic...she loves painting, crafting, making something out of nothing...kerry has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh...i enjoy being with her...i'm so proud of her...she decides what she wants and then goes for it...i love you so much kerry...have a wonderful year...

signs

poor little kerry had her wisdom teeth out yesterday...she made me laugh so hard, i was crying...when she was waking up, she kept looking at me so puzzled...i kept asking what she needed...she started 'signing' to me...which of course, i don't understand...i kept saying...'i don't understand'...so then she started signing more...i finally figured out a name...julia...then kerry signed that julia understood, then heidi, then ashely, then jeremy and so on...i kept saying, yes, they understand but i don't...and she would look at me so troubled...i was really laughing...then, she turned to the nurse and signed to her...the nurse said...you can use your mouth, it works...but she only would 'sign'...well, she's coming around better today...she's lucky, she's not to swollen...and all her friends came to visit and brought jamba juice...
