This little nugget is FIVE years old today!!

She’s our family’s spicy sauce, the fiery last child that keeps us all on our toes.

Her big personality and double dimples simultaneously win us over and exasperate us in ways that only she can accomplish.

She’s passionate about life, and never does anything halfheartedly. She loves hard and fights hard (and yes, can be a touch dramatic at times).

She’s the only one of our kids to really get to experience the “no strug life” as J & I like to dub it; she was born when we were both in our 30s and in a much more settled season of life (no grad school parents here!).

But most importantly, she’s the missing ingredient to our family; the piece that completed our 5-some. She is articulate in a way that no child her age should be (LOL) and adorable beyond measure. She is our daily reminder to pray for ALL our kids and we are constantly asking the Lord for wisdom in how to instruct and shape her growth.

Sweet A, mommy loves you SO much! I’d sprain my pelvic ligament for you all over again to birth you 😉

PS: Big birthday party/birth DAY recap post coming later this week!
