SHY? (I don't think so.)

Okay, so in an effort to clear the record.. I'd like to give you a little bit of proof that my daughter (whom most of you think is extremely shy and unsocial) is actually quite the character. Give her time to warm up to you, and you never know what you're gonna see! I'm sure that each and every one of you at some point or another have asked Hallie a question, only to find her looking at the ground with her bottom lip out like she's about to burst into tears. I promise that isn't a result of child abuse or lack of personality. This girl knows how to ham it up and she actually loves an audience. She loves to sing at the top of her lungs, while looking out of the corner of her eye to make sure you are enjoying the performance. She really enjoys dancing and twirling... with lots of pointed toes. She loves to show you her "tricks" (which usually involve winking, thumbs up, and maybe a kick here and there). Dresses are her favorite attire, and it needs to be pink most of the time. She is great at teasing her brothers - usually until screaming occurs.

You always know when she's smiling, because her eyes sparkle. She has the most contageous laugh you've ever heard... and she never holds a grudge. She is our only girl, (or should I say "princess") and therefore just a tad bit spoiled. Her daddy is an easy pushover when it comes to this face. She's great at talking her way out of pretty much anything.

I doubt that we will get another girl, because it would be impossible to top this one. She is and always will be our little angel. Just give her time... she'll show ya!

Love ya HALS!
