The Big 8

My eldest turned 8 in May, and in our church this means you can be baptized and confirmed. Marin was super excited to have her dad perform this ordinance. I think there were 9 other people baptized that day...all boys besides Marin.


Some things I love about Marin...
1. She is always happy in the morning. I need this because I am not a morning person.
2. She can make breakfast for herself and her siblings. Although a bit messy at times (especially when the milk jug is full) it buys me a bit more shut eye.
3. She shares my love for reading.
4. She plays with her younger siblings so well...and they love her so much.
5. She is not a perfectionist.
6. She doesn't stay mad.
7. The way music touches her soul like her dad's. From infancy her mood could be easily altered by music. (Yes, I exploit this.)
8. Her laugh.

I feel blessed to have this "little" spirit in our home.
