Birthday Girl!

So it's a busy week at our house, right? Today is sweet Katelyn's 5 year old birthday as she likes to call it. Looking back it's mind boggling we got thru this day and the next 3 weeks to follow. Katelyn was in a hurry to meet us, she was NOT waiting for 40 whole weeks no thank you!I had trouble with her from the get go and at 24 weeks I was hospitalized on bed rest. At 32 weeks she'd had enough and out she came weighing 3 lbs 7 oz. But that strong personality I fight with everyday got her through and she was able to come home right before Thanksgiving. I am so thankful her little spirit had such a strong desire to be with our family and I know it will serve her well as she faces the challenges in our world.

She is such a loveable girl,and she doesn't know a stranger. She's like her brother as she's not stingy with the hugs and kisses. Katelyn loves to help around the house and with Brody, though you may have to ask more than once. She has a great imagination and comes up with some crazy ideas which send us into hysterics daily.

She has a mind like an elephant,I swear she will not forget the important suff, ya know like rewards, treats you said "later" about, or even places we've gone and with whom we went. Watch out!!


Mostly she's a sweet and sensitive girl, who cares about others and has a kind heart.Her favorite color is pink, and she loves merry-go-rounds and playing dress up. We're so happy that she's our's and look forward to watching her become an amazing young woman. So Happy Birthday Katelyn, we love you so much!
