Keilie's Day

I waited all day to do a fun photo shoot and ended up waiting too long. (Hm...someone- S. Dirks- must have forgotten that the days are getting shorter, that summer is almost over, and that the sun sets a bit earlier than it did in June)  I'll have to do the pictures I wanted to do, tomorrow- I've scoped out the perfect spot.  For now, to celebrate my baby girl's TWELFTH birthday, I'll show the ones that we captured quickly, in our back yard.  Horrible lighting...Beautiful Birthday Girl.

The quality of picture leaves something to be desired, but it does nothing to take away from her radiant, easy smile.  My little Keilie is quickly becoming a young woman.  She is kind, generous, quick-witted, and has a effervescent personality that makes everyone feel happy.  She is maturing into a reliable babysitter, always looking for fun activities to try on her siblings to do with kids she watches.  Kids love her!!  She blesses our lives each day with her love.

Happy Birthday, my beautiful Keilie.  You are loved "to the back of the moon."

A saying she used to say, when she was a "little girl."
