Lorelai

Today is a special day indeed.

Five years ago today on Oct 19th 2004

Miss Lorelai Leigh Sorenson came into this world.
And the Sorenson family has never been the same.

Here she is still in the hospital meeting her big sister Alexandra.

I would love to say that it was love at first sight for big sister Lex,

but. . . . . . . .

you try being the object of all the parental love for two years only to have the rug pulled out from under your feet with the arrival of a little usurper they call your new sister.

Lucky for us all, little Lorelai turned out to be quite the scrappy one. In other words she survived the love of her big sister Alexandra.

Things were never quite the same for Lex, but she did start to realize that there were worse things in life than sharing the stage with a younger sister.
And now I'm thrilled to say these two little girls are true sisters in every sense of the word.
Of course there are scrabbles.
But there is also much love, consideration, generosity, and hours and hours of shared fun.
Alexandra and Lorelai truly love each other.

Lorelai is a complete original. .

She keeps us guessing, and always laughing

And just two years ago Lori became a big sister herself.

It took her no adjustment time at all to fall completely in love with her new baby sister Elisabeth.

No sister could be more loving, more attentive, or more concerned for the welfare of that new sister than Miss Lorelai has been.

Lorelai is known for her quick little temper, but she is also known for showing so much love to those of us that know her best. She will learn to deal with that short little fuse, and in a few years we will all laugh when we realize how grown up she has become.

She will always walk to the sound of her own drum. That's one of the things that make her so special.

And we,

her family,

will continue year in and year out to love this precious girl that has brought and will continue to bring us so much fun, so many laughs, and more love than you would ever imagine possible in such a spunky little girl.

Happy Birthday Lorelai. I love you more,

every minute I'm alive.

All my Love

Grandma!
