Six

 My firstborn is six years old!  She has made me laugh from day one and I am so proud of her.  She's becoming a little girl who is creative, funny, brave (see my camp post!) and she is learning to love the Lord.  What more could I ask for?  So at 6 years old Grace:

•  has gone on her first "camp" experience.  We are picking her up tonight and I expect either one of two things- she doesn't stop talking the whole ride home or she immediately conks out and is asleep the whole time. :)

•  is so so creative.  She likes coloring, drawing, making houses, playing imagination with her toys. etc.  She often recruits Graham to be part of her play
• loves loves her baby brother and has a love/hate relationship with Graham.  Ha!  No, they get along well for the most part and she does take care of him
• likes to read books and can happily sit and do this for quite a while

• loves strawberries, Dad's cereal (peanut butter crunch!), Hello Kitty, and her Julie doll.
• likes watching the Avatar and Littlest Pet Shop cartoons

• is great about helping dad at camp and likes to do building checks with him
• likes to swing
• loves caterpillars!

• is super social and friendly.  We were in NW this week and she could hardly wait to start visiting people!

•  very much likes to know what's going on.  "what are we doing next? What's after that? What now?"... etc!

• has my fair skin and the cutest freckles across her nose and cheeks.
• has lost two teeth and swears she has another one loose.

• Wants to be a babysitter when she grows up (with no kids of her own. ha!)

I love this spunky, energetic, take charge, full of life little girl!  Happy 6 years Sis.
Love,
Mom
