My darling girl. You are FIVE. My brain sometimes cannot keep up with the fact that you are growing constantly. I pass by the picture from us in the hospital every night when I kiss you into bed and stare at it thinking that was just yesterday when we started this life together.
I am so proud of you. You are a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made.
You shine your light for Jesus wherever you go and it makes daddy and I beam with pride.
Your light blue eyes are eager to learn and befriend everyone you know. You have done awesome in your pre-k class, you love creating art and being active.
It has been so fun to watch you in dance this year as you learn your body. Your dance recital was so much fun to watch! We are so proud of you.
Your swimming skills are awesome and you will do front and back flips off the side of the pool! So brave!
You are best buds with dad and I think that is the greatest. You and your sister are best friends and play together so well now.
We sing Lauren Daigle in the car, we love cuddling on the couch to watch Full House before we all go to bed. We love going on adventures.
Every night we do your bible study, sing songs and pray.
My wish for you my darling is to have confidence in Jesus to fill you up and bring you joy. I never want you to expect others to make you happy. I pray that you will always be a leader for good, including everyone and sharing the gospel wherever you go.
Jesus is our protector, our shield, our strength. He will make the path for us.
For your 5th birthday you chose to have your ears pierced, you didn't even cry! We went to the Austin Zoo, had pizza for dinner (with Enna & Landon) and then you birthday party was a joint party with Henley -- Let's Flamingle theme. It was so much fun. Madelyn, Reese, Camryn, Allison, Layton, Brooklyn all came -- they colored a flamingo, then played pin the feather on the flamingo, we played flamingo ring toss, had fun with the flamingo pinata and even read a story about a flamingo. Enna helped put beautiful pink balloons all over our house and made you pretty tutus to wear with your flamingo shirts. Yaya helped, Didi & T came along with Marlene, Papa, Julie and Landon. We had so much fun!
I love you so much Halen girl. This year is going to be full of big changes and so much fun. You start Kindergarten at Laurel Mountain, you are joining a more serious dance team. We are so excited to see you flourish.
I love you darling girl!
