This girl is such a joy. While we have been dealing with some bigger emotions this past year, she is still such a happy girl who never meets a stranger. I think this sums up her personality well...one day were driving past the park and it was packed with some children. She looked over and said "oh, I want to go there. Look at all those kids. So many new friends to meet." She has such a big heart and makes a friend everywhere she goes. I've also really seen her relationship develop with her brother this year. She looks out for him and is typically willing to share and plays with him well (as long as he does what she says, ha!)

I had such a hard time picking pictures because there are so many I want to share!

Granni was her special guest at school.

The fence won't stop her! One time she climbed over it so she could go play with the neighbor girl in her yard.

Her one and only Fun Run of the summer. She was pretty disappointed that it wasn't an actual race and even more disappointed that she didn't win.

She love the pool this summer and really excelled. She was swimming on her own most of the time and even went off the diving board.

We took the train down to Springfield and met Granni for a play. She loved it!

One of her BFFs Kennedy.

She was obsessed with going camping this past summer. We didn't go far but she was able to camp out in the back yard with dad a few times.

Vacation with our friends in the Dells was a blast.

We spent a lot of time outside this summer, especially in the front playing in the drive way and yard. She always wanted to walk down to the Little Library and get a book. She is still my little book worm. We love to read chapter books and she has really started picking up on some beginning reading by sounding some words out.
