Nine already!

Our beautiful little Lydia is nine already. She continues to amaze me in all she is and does. She continues to school all her siblings, (I am sure that is how all those younger than her know all their ABCs and numbers) Lydia does not take "No"," I don't want to", or " I don't know how" for an answer, there isn't anything you can't do. I love that push, drive, and super stubborn personality in her, 99% of the time. Lydia determination was centered on baking this year, and I am happy to say she has concurred, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and brown rice pancakes, and is still working her way through the cook books. In general Lydia is a happy, content little girl who loves family, home, and helping everyone around her. We love you Lydia. (I kept trying to get a few pictures of some of the little girls and the boys kept popping up in every picture, so we cut them out of the last few as much as we could. Ileigh, Lydia, and Joyce are inseparable at school and have play dates as much as parents allow. She was so excited about the super tall candles.
