Monday we celebrated Katie's 8th birthday. My how time flies! It seems like yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. She was soooo tiny. Her eyes were large and her limbs were long. From the get go she had the sweetest disposition. And the curliest hair you ever did see!
Time has flown and she is now a beautiful little girl. She is first to offer a hug, smile and kind words of love when I am upset. Her eyes are still large, her limbs are still long... She is filled with dreams of motherhood, and of being an author/ illustrator. Always leading the kids on adventures through the back yard, she has a tendency to be a bit bossy.
She is excited about being eight because that is a special age! She is now able to be baptized. Her love for the Savior grows each day. What better way to show it than to emulate his example. She loves to read her scriptures, especially the story of David in the Lions Den. Her faith grows every time she listens for the promptings in her heart. She is looking forward to her baptism, and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost to lead and direct her in her life. It is hard to believe that she is so BIG!
Monday she took her best friend swimming at the local water park. It was a perfect day! They swam, ate cupcakes, and terrorized Ry. Ellie tried her best to keep up. We all came home sunburned and happy.
Happy Birthday Katie!
