Dear Grace

Dear Gracie, 

I love how you love on Gavin.  You are such a good big sister.  You can make him smile like no other.  

I love how you are growing and learning.  You came home from a night away with your Dad and Grandpa and I swear you grew up 5 years.  The look on your face, your actions, even wearing jeans (she does not like clothes with buttons closures!).

I love how you are finding your independence.  Getting dressed yourself, doing chores, taking showers.  Even riding the BIG water slides! It doesn't come without growing pains and there are many parts of that you do not enjoy but you are finding it nonetheless.

I love your imagination.  You can play for hours with dolls, legos, even sticks outside.  You've taken to making "creations" with twigs, roots, dirt, and water.  I love it.

I think we are a lot alike and that means sometimes we butt heads, but Grace, someday when you read this I hope you know how proud of you I am and how much I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.

Love,

Mom
