Happy Birthday Bitsy!




October was a fun, busy month with a lot of excitement! We were all excited for Bitsy's 16th Birthday. We put together a package of gifts to send her. I then set it on the stove to run get one last item to include. When I stepped out of the kitchen, Rachel pulled a stool over to look at the box. Then she tried out a few of the interesting knobs on the stove. As the box started on fire, Drew ran to find me to help. (He had a sore throat so he couldn't yell) I made it just in time to rip Rachel away from the flames and throw the contents of the box onto the kitchen floor. It was a miracle that the box wasn't completely consumed in flames and Rachel to. The box was full of tissue paper and wrapped gifts. Not one thing inside the box was damaged so we were still able to send the gifts to Bitsy! Way to go Drew!!! HAPPY 16TH BITSY! We love you.
