our little girl



We have had so much fun the last few weeks...Kaylee turned 5 and we really celebrated her this year! We all 3 went to Minneapolis for a wedding and took Kay to the "American Girl" store where we had a tea party. Then we had a Princess Tea Party with all her little princess friends.
This is the first year she really got into her birthday and understood it.

For me this celebrating was so sweet. It has always been really hard for me to watch this little girl grow older...I guess since we don't know if we"ll ever get to experience other children it is especially hard to watch it pass. But this year was different for me. I felt so free to celebrate this little girl, this life that God has given us to care for, to teach, to learn all about him. And I have been given a new freedom to enjoy her growing older. She has truly become a delightful little girl. So intuitive and curious about the world around her! So ready to learn new things.

We have certainly been blessed beyond compare in the life of this child!
