Savannah is Seven

 


My darling girl. SEVEN! And let me just say she is killing it at being seven. She has learned how to tie her shoes, learned to ride her bike without training wheels (which took all of 5 minutes) & is learning Spanish. She is in the Spanish Immersion first grade class which means that on day one of school her teacher spoke only Spanish for half of the day. She is already speaking in some sentences & passed her daddy & I with her Spanish knowledge. She loves to play outside, do any kind of art (her drawing is actually quite good), play school with her brothers, go to the museum, and practice her piano lessons on her keyboard. Her favorite thing is probably to play some really creative made-up activity with her brothers. I always find them with half their room packed in suitcases & the dining room set up like "Sea World" or things equally fun. She is such an incredible sister with endless patience for her brothers. She's always being so careful Slade doesn't have something he shouldn't in his mouth & taking her sweet time to listen & understand what Spencer is trying to tell her. And they both adore her. I don't think they either one mind being woken up from naps and thrown in the car at 2:50 to rush & get her from school. Her favorite color is mint, favorite stuffed animal is Keeley (her Alaskan Husky), favorite toys are Shopkins, & favorite food is bacon.  There are countless things to love about this girl, but the best is her heart. She loves people and she loves them well. So thankful for the little girl God has blessed us with!

All Hallows' Eve 2016

They rocked the characters from Princess Bride this year for Halloween.
I mean, I think he was more "Man in Black" than Wesley was.
Our beautiful Princess Buttercup
And of course, Inigo.












And let us never forget that Spencer's love for Whoppers or "Snap Balls" as he calls them began here.
