L is for...Life with Leena!

Today's message is brought to you by the letter L for Leena.  Leena is my middle child, my youngest daughter and a true blessing.  At 9 she is intelligent, strong, sensitive and has a good head on her shoulders.  She takes after me in the sense that she loves all things crafty...including scrapbooking.  She takes after her dad in her love of salad (for dessert!) and that fact that she's not much into sweets. Leena is my little organizer...she loves order and calm.  In her words, her ideal day would consist of a trip to The Container Store from which she would purchase a ton of various organizing containers, bring them back home, and arrange them to her heart's delight in her room--corralling and containing all the things she loves.  When we go out, she asks if we could go look around at Home Goods. She is not a fan of geocaching--not because she doesn't enjoy a good treasure hunt like the rest of us, but because she detests bugs!  She is currently in the 3rd grade, and at the moment, home from school due to a virus and an asthma exacerbation.   She loves horses and is learning to ride.  She is taking dance, but would rather not.  She hopes to someday become a veterinarian or a teacher.  She is kind, quiet and loving, and brings to our lives an undeniable presence that is full of optimism and heart.  She is a shining star and we love her.

One of her many crafty creations!
