OuR lItTlE gIrL

You know,

I'm still not certain

where the years go,

but...

our little girl had a birthday.

She's now old enough to go to

Church dances.

It seems like yesterday that she was so

small.

It was hard to let her go to 1st. grade

and be gone for most of the day.

She took dance and played soccer.

She loved dressing up for

school dress-up days.

(This is "Crazy Hair Day".)

She'd create inventions.

(This one blew confetti out of the top of the hat

for celebrations.)

She played the piano.

She loved being a princess.

She ran for school treasurer.

And graduated from 6th. grade.

She was "legally brunette".

A week ago, she went to girls' camp.
She got back in time to celebrate
her birthday!
(We're so very glad that she was born!)



P.S. She got an extra present on her birthday--a new
nephew--Carter Joseph! (The happy parents are
Darren and Marie.)
