Three

Katiebug turned three today. We woke up at the lakehouse with cousins, grandparents, uncles, aunts and second cousins. She told everyone "I'm not two!!!" Then, she'd show her three fingers. Kate has no idea what three means but she is happy to finally be there!

We all have grown with Kate this year. Daddy met Barbie. Caleb and Josh and I have learned the names of every Princess and what songs they sing. We have all watched "Stinking Booty" (aka Sleeping Beauty) more times than we care to count. We have grown in our patience, learned to slow down and smell the roses every now and then, and most of all have grown as a family of five ... with each other and God as our focus we have security, smiles, and love!

Happy Birthday, Princess Kate!! You have enriched our lives and our family; you keep us young and on our toes; you light up a room; you are our ray of sunshine, little one!

to cake and pizza in the same day, to family, to birthdays, to presents, to Kate ...
