It's hard to believe, but Callie Grace turned 7 on June 19...good grief where has the time gone?!We were in Austin staying at Scott and Alli's house due to Jack and Cal being in our dear friends David and Sara's wedding. We started the day with the traditional breakfast donuts, then birthday spankin' by Daddy, then on to swimming, cake (made by Aunt Alli!), and presents. Callie got the beloved DSi she has been asking for---thanks Grammy and Papa! She also got an awesome pair of boots and riding helmet from Scott and Alli, new crocs, and horseback riding lessons..she is in to horses if you couldn't tell! I can't believe she'll be in 2nd grade in the fall. I remember the day she was born, rather unexpectedly, at a mere 5 lbs, 6 oz---tiny thing! I can remember my father-in-law holding her in one hand, she was so small. Now she can read, work double digit/borrowing addition problems, ride a horse, swim like a fish, fix her own hair, and legitimately help with Macie!
Things I Love About Callie:
--she loves socks--crazy, don't match anything, obnoxious socks!
--she LOVES stuffed animals (so do I)
--She has a huge lisp due to her two front teeth missing
--She loves arts and crafts, and is very creative
--She still prefers play baths to showers
--She almost always laughs when she is running
--She thinks earthworms are "cute"
--She would eat a whole watermelon if I let her
--She has a spunky, defiant attitude that, Lord willing, we can train into a determined perserverance in everything she does!
--She has the patience of a gnat with Jack, but loves to teach him things
--She is very independant, but not afraid to ask to snuggle
Happy Birthday, sweet Callie!!
