What has Katie been up to lately?

Katie continues to be a bright light in our family, full of smiles & laughs & inventions. She is doing great in school and finished the 1st 6 weeks with straight A's and good behavior! She listens & pays attention to stories and will ask questions or make comments later that prove this which contributes to some of the "deepness" she has. Not everyone gets to see that side of her, but it's there. She's incredibly intelligent and amazes us often.

She loved getting to go to a Dallas Cowboy game with her daddy & Mr. Kevin a few weeks ago. (Ellie thought she was going too but she had to stay with Mommy!)

She enjoyed See You At The Pole, a time to gather around the flagpole for prayer before school starts, in September...

She loved having Daddy at school for "Bring Your Dad To School" day! This also happened to be the same day as See You At The Pole, which worked out nicely. The girl loves her daddy!

She likes sitting at the little table in her room and drawing, writing, inventing, reading, etc.

She entertains herself while waiting for Gracie to finish violin lessons (and spends fun time with her little sister!)

She has a hard time getting rid of things, as you can see by the number of stuffed animals...

She draws neat pictures which show her creative, individual side (& love for baseball!)...

She draws pictures which sometimes make us wonder what she was thinking....in this case, I think she was drawing her interpretation of "diversity"...

She shows extreme joy often...or extreme frustration...or extreme sadness...

She is such fun with a great love for life and is a great blessing to us!
