Happy 8th Birthday to our Sweet Maryn

Birthday month is upon us!  It's time to celebrate all these amazing kiddos! First up, our Sissy, who turned EIGHT YEARS OLD.  We certainly think eight is great :)

Maryn is such a joy and just loves people. And people love her.  She's got a lot of EQ, and she's extremely perceptive to others and their feelings. She is always giving compliments and noticing people's outfits, hair, dress, smile, etc.  She drives her brothers crazy, and I suspect she knows exactly what she is doing when she does it!! :)  

While it's hard to nail her down for reading or computer work, she's doing very well in school and has high marks for aptitude.  She will fall asleep the second her head hits her pillow, which makes reading time very difficult!  Her teachers say she is their little helper, and she continues to say she will be a nurse - so she can help people. What a heart on this sweet red head...

For her birthday we celebrated first as a family, with donuts, church, Defy, and then dinner at our Clubhouse.  She loved all the attention.

The following weekend we first went to Dublin so she could have dinner and a sleepover with her besties.  The time together was good for her 8 year old soul!

The next day we drove to Atlanta for another sleepover, this time with her grandmother, aunt and cousin.  We had a wonderful time in a hotel, with room service, and girl time.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you, sweet baby girl, and so proud of you. You have such a spunky, creative, and fun spirit to you - but with a servant's heart that seeks to love others.  I know God is going to do BIG things in your life, and that you will be able to help and serve others in His name as you continue to grow into the woman that He has created you to be.
