somehow.

Somehow Camryn turned six.

She wanted donuts instead of a cake.

She wanted to go swimming.

Some of the things she wanted for her birthday were a camera, 

ballet shoes, a mermaid barbie, and a dress up dress.

I believe that one of Camryn's gifts is the gift of compassion.

If I am playing a game with her she will often want me to win

so I don't feel bad.

We love you Camryn!

 Camryn loves to go swimming

Sharing her treats with Cali.

She would hug us after she got her presents. Loved it that she was so grateful.

This is the poster we put together for her class.

She is not in ballet, but she wanted ballet shoes.

Letting Cali help her open her present. So cute.

Taking a picture with her camera.

Dear Kids: 

Listening to, reading, and following this message will make ALL the difference in your life.

The full and written version of this message is here. 

You will never in a million years regret it if you read it. 

Keep in mind, this was written back in 2006.  Think about how much worse the static has gotten since then, and will continue to get.

What 9 looks like...

I loved the pictures my husband took of Cali and I so much 

that I wanted pictures with all of my kids like that.

I'm crossing my fingers that I can make this happen :).

Cade, thanks for being such a good sport.

He turned 9 in January.

Where has time gone?

Dear Cade:

You make me smile.

MOM

I am absolutely in LOVE with this next series.
