one two three...

Four! Kate is four. No matter how many times I say it, it still doesn't sound right. How can it be that my baby girl is so big? Days with little ones often seem to last forever, yet somehow the years fly past in a blur.

It was chilly on her birthday so we took the kids bowling which was a big hit with them all. At home we enjoyed the cupcakes Kate helped me decorate while she opened gifts. We then proceeded to play with all of her gifts at once which meant a jumble of play dough, beads, board games, and baby dolls took over the dining room. Totally Kate's kind of fun.

{Katie, Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. (Phil 1:3) You bring such joy and laughter into our family, and I can't imagine life without your smile. Happy Birthday, little bear.}
