Kait turned 15 last month. I had a post all formulated in my mind but it included a very funny video I haven’t had the chance to edit. So I’ll have to post that later. It’s not something I want any of you to miss.
We really had fun putting together her birthday treasure hunt.

I didn’t want to put off her birthday post any longer. So, here it is.

Kait,
I feel unworthy to be blessed with a daughter like you. Even before you were old enough to comprehend your purpose, you were changing my heart – and now everything about me is different.
You are a joy.

Thank you. Thank you for being you, so willing to help, ease a burden, and teach your brothers. Your heart for God is evident every day.

I’ve watched you grow from a little girl into a young lady. Once upon a time I didn’t want you to grow up. I was sad at the idea of you being an adult. But, now that you’re grown, I realize that this time in my life, where I get to watch you become a woman, is just as precious as the time I watched you take your first steps. And although I don’t laugh daily at silly things you say or do anymore (as I do with the littles), I am now finding myself in awe of who you have grown up to be.

Being your mom has been better than I could have ever imagined.
I love you.

Happy 15.
