Winter Catch Up

Winter catch up:

You had the flu twice this Winter (both strands A and B). You were such a trooper and we made it as fun as possible. To try to keep the rest of us healthy (we were successful) we quarantined you to your bedroom. We had fun playing hotel room service and pretending your room was your own private pirate ship. You got a bit stir crazy as the days went on, but it really wasn't too bad. Both cases were mild, thank goodness, and you were up and at 'em in just a few short days.

You continued to be an excellent big sister this Winter and were the so excited about your brother's Bap-I-tism (how you pronounced it). It has been so fun watching you two grow together and how much you love him. Your favorite things to do right now are: make him laugh with funny noises, help bathe him, hold him facing you like "grown ups do," and helping to feed him solid foods.

You also had your first Daddy/Daughter dance in February. Daddy gave you a corsage and took you to the special occasion. You danced and danced and loved every minute of it. What special memories!!

Family Reunion:

For some reason, you have family reunions and funerals mixed up in your head. This is a video you insisted on making after we discussed the passing of Billy Graham. I pray your sweet heart stays focused on God's love and helping others for your entire lifetime. You have a true servant's heart!

Christmas 2017 in Pictures

As you can see in all the pictures, we had a fabulous Christmas this year. My favorite part that I just had to document was the new tradition that you came up with. In the car on the way home from church, you said that you wanted to start a new tradition of everyone standing around the christmas tree, holding hands and saying a prayer. Before bed time, you had us all gather around and you said the prayer. Man, do I wish I had recorded it as your sweet and sensitive heart came through big time! You said thank you for giving us all that we need and to help us give others what they need. You said thank you for the best gifts at Christmas time that is family. Be. Still. My. Heart! Love you so much!
