Yesterday, our little girl turned 8 years old! We've watched her grow and blossom in so many ways this year. She maintains the strength of personality that we saw from minute one after birth. She is a bright child who can corner you with her questions. She has a great aptitude for math--which is her favorite subject. She has recently developed an interest in sewing and for her birthday received a crocheting kit...which she worked on until she mastered the basic stitch yesterday. We've seen her grow in her awareness and care for others; as well as her desire to understand the mysterious things of God.
We celebrated all weekend! She and a couple of friends and their moms joined us for burgers and milkshakes at a local 50s style diner. We enjoyed a family lunch on Sunday and some key lime pie for a birthday dessert!
Enjoy the snapshots from the celebration!
