Nine

Nine years.

The middle child.

Drew a picture of herself and Rafe in the “Things That Are Hard” column of her school worksheet.

Wrote Outside Chores under “Things That Are Easy”, and Inside Chores under “Things That Are Hard”.

Calls me out when I’m being neurotic…and is usually right

Mostly a Daddy’s girl.

Recently gave up dance after 5 years of lessons, to take horseback riding lessons instead. And is loving every minute of it.

Has been trying to figure out where we would fit a horse on this farm.

Has had the same best friend (Julia) since the first grade.

Wants to be an artist when she grows up. (Though Mom thinks she ought to be a lawyer, what with her amazing skills at making a case, i.e. arguing)

Smart. Sassy. Helps make our lives complete.

Love,
Mom
