Happy Birthday Kate

Well it's been so long since I have been in the blog world.  I really wanted to write for each of my kids a birthday message with pictures and videos, I never seemed to get there so we're going to play catch up.

Kate's 6th birthday party

                                            Kate wanted to do crafts, we painted birdhouses.
                                                                          All done!

                                                                  Happy birthday Kate!

Dear Kate,
You are 6, wow I can't believe this has gone by so fast.  I very distinctly remember holding you and thinking you were so pretty, just like a girl should look.  You have been a joy to mother of course we have our moments that can be tough but I still take great joy in being your mother.  My favorite thing about you is your imagination.  Since you were very small and starting to talk you would be content along as you had any two items so that they could talk with one another.  You often would just play quietly and contently.  It's so fun when we get a sneak peak into your world you create. 

You also have a real love for anything art, I am excited to see how God will use this gift he has given you!  You are such a girl, no one had to teach you this, I am pretty sure you came into this world wearing a dress.  You love to dress up and I am not sure there will be a day that you will grow out of this :) .  God has created you for us, you teach us so much.  You have a very sweet and sensitive heart, often you will have your feelings hurt if you feel like we are laughing and it's about you.  This past fall you started kindergarten and you seem to be doing great.  It's so fun to see you hide God's word in your heart.  You are growing up to fast!  My prayer for you is that God will continue to reveal himself to you and that you will live a life that is full of His love!  I pray that my expectations for you would not supersede what God's plan is for you.  Lord I offer Kate with open hands to do and will as you please, thank you for allowing Ben and I to parent her.  Give us the wisdom and strength it takes to do it all with Grace. Amen
