A Baby Girl Turns 3

I'm not sure how it happened...but she grew up! My firstborn who turned my name into "Mommy" is now 3 years old. I feel like she's becoming a big girl, but so does everybody else...no more free admissions for this one! She is an entrance paying, pre-school attending, panty wearing, independance searching little missy who is giving me a run for my sanity!

There is no one else on this earth who can make my heart leap for joy and my mouth shout "don't you dare" at the same time. I'm so proud of all she is accomplishing independantly and I just wish she'd want my help for things all at the same moment.

I know if we can channel it correctly for God's glory, her determination and desire for fairness will accomplish great things for the Kingdom one day. I'm so excited to see what God has in store for our little girl who surprised us with her existance!

Keep surprising us, Sophie Jean. We love your sweet personality, your kind heart, your wild love for adventure, and your determination to accomplish whatever is in your mind (we'll channel that one of these days)!! We're so glad that you are learning to love and serve Jesus with all your heart!
