Six.



The month of March proved to be a busy one for our family, filled with a variety of activities that kept our crew especially active.  In the midst of the whirlwind, the hours committed to the NCAA tournament, church gatherings, play dates, work and school, the little lady turned six.  SIX!  After kicking around various themes for her party, many of which involved full costumes, staging and make-up, we zeroed in on what really gets our gal going these days...games.  And, so we celebrated our little lady with an intimate gathering of family and friends watching her challenge various guests to backgammon, checkers, Candy Land and card games.  She shined, as she so often does, expressing sincere joy and happiness surrounded by those she loves. 

 

 

 



 

In six (short) years, our little lady has grown in poise and grace.  Her tender heart loves big, and she continues to find great pleasure in people, sharing life with, doing things for, and encouraging.  So often this year, as I have snapped various pictures of our gal, I have noticed with greater clarity her joyful spirit.  With smile wide and eyes bright she communicates what I believe is the sincere reflection of a heart filled with the joy of the Lord.

 

Sweet, delicate, daring, charismatic, and boisterous Charlotte Marie, how grateful to the Lord are we that He blessed us with your presence six (short) years ago.  I wouldn't dare ask you to slow down, and stay six forever, for you were created to be a gal on the go, filled with big dreams and a determined spirit.
