Evie sure has made the last ten years of our lives count. Although it does seem like it’s gone fast, I think of all the growth that God has allowed to happen in our family in the last decade and I feel it. Ten years. Wee-oo.
Our girl has morphed from little kid to big kid this year. The transition of the third grade year is real. She still has the most care-free, in the clouds, unique drumbeat that she’s always had, but we’ve seen glimpses of a mature, thoughtful, and upright human being emerging. What is God preparing her for? Something great, whether big or small. We are so proud of what God has done in her and the challenges she has and will continue to overcome.
The things Evie is drawn to this year: music (she’s got a real diverse Spotify playlist going), reading insane amounts of books, dragons, chickens, cats, frogs, small things, piano, Crunch Labs, Merge Dragons, Minecraft, cozy spots, math, being in the pool/lake, messy rooms, stories about mythology, spending time with friends, stuffed animals, sweets, school, digging, Qwirkle, riding bikes, eating massive amounts of crushed ice, creating a whirlwind of debris everywhere she goes, and hugging people way too tightly.
All these things and way more make up the most curious girl I’ve ever met. She is a thousand years different than me, but it doesn’t matter because to God, a thousand years is like a day. Evie is our incredible, God-given gift and we are so delighted to celebrate her as a ten-year-old this day!
