My Birthday Girl

For a good portion of Braewyn's life, I thought she'd always be our youngest.  That said, it's hard to believe my baby is now four years old.  With Juliet's birth, Braewyn became my Sweet Middle (child that is), and she (Braewyn) seems to be growing up overnight.  Her birthday, May 2, fell on a  Monday this year so we celebrated on the Saturday before with a cookout and then a little more the night of her actual birthday.

We met Saturday evening at my parents' house for a cookout with Nana, Papa, Grandma, Uncle Mike, Aunt Andrea, Holden, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Curt and Thomas. It was a good time and Braewyn received lots of fun things: playdough, coloring books, a Dora scooter, Disney princess shoes, a puzzle, and a Leapster 2.


Enjoying the cookout with brother and cousins.

Mini-party with Braewyn's friends who live on either side of us! She and Anna (4) are BFF's and she thinks Yvonne (16) is so cool!

I love you so much Braewyn and thank Jesus for you daily. You bring out the best and worst of me but both are leading me to be more like Him!
