Celebrating Kate~


Today we celebrated four years with our sweet Kate~ our tiny little treasure. 

Kate is gentle, quiet, and soft spoken. She is a perfectionist.  She is thoughtful, observant and pensive. And rather introverted. And in this family, living with 4 siblings that have some VERY strong and extroverted personalities, sometimes she just needs to be by herself.

She is our girly girl.  She skips and twirls through life with a smile on her face.  She is all about baby dolls, princesses, ponies, dressing up and ballet.  AND She LOVES to read, and this mama loves that!

We are a family of tradition.  And in keeping with our forever family day traditions, we celebrated Kate's special day with Chinese food for dinner.



And then we shook things up a bit and had doughnuts for dessert!  And boy, did the kids love that!


Afterwards, we came home and watched Kate's gotcha video and then Kate opened her little gift from China. And her reaction, to her gift....


"Ohhh, it's JUST what I was hoping for!"

Katherine MeiLing,  your mommy and daddy LOVE you!  We have been so BLESSED to be your parents these past four years! YOU are a treasure! And a gift!

"Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!"
