9 years old

Wait... what?  Yep!  Addy is 9 years old.  I love who she is and who she is becoming.  Adelyn dances her little heart out.  And when she is not dancing she is doing gymnastics.  When she is not doing those things... she is drawing and creating.  Adelyn got Legos for her birthday and wanted to have a Lego themed birthday party.  She invited the entire neighborhood plus some (she has always had a bzillion friends).  For her party we had a Lego building contest with 2 teams and then they all went out and built a fort together using large PVC pipes.  It was was interesting to see the girls in action and their little personalities come out.  We had cake and ice cream, opened presents, and watched a Friends Lego TV show.  Legos are perfect for Addy because she likes to create and is very good at it. She is very patient and loves the arts.  Love this girl of mine!  She is the perfect big sister to her other siblings.   I am so grateful she was my first. Boston, Emmy and Max all look up to her so much.  She has taught Boston how to read and Emmy wants to do everything Adelyn does. Addy knows her brothers and sisters look up to her and she is such a great example to them.  She has a very strong desire to do what is is right, to be kind to all people, and to please others.  I love her sweet, innocent, tender heart! She truly is beautiful inside and out! And smart as a can be! Grateful she is ours!
