Nine Years and Counting...

I really don't have words sometimes.



My thankfulness for this gift has no bounds.

Her joy. Her amazing creativity. Her genuine love for people.

Her hunger to be close to God.

Nine years.

It is an honor to be your Mom, Kinley.

I love you...more than words can ever say.

Happy Birthday Kinley. We've never met, but I remember your Mom when she was nine years old. Cheryl was cute, a bit shy, very serious and very smart. I remember your mom helping your Nana make treats for me and my teenage friends when we came to your Papa's house for bible studies.

Nine year olds are amazing. My youngest daughter is 10 years old and we have tons of fun. One of our favorite games is when she gets underneath a blanket and crawls around on the floor and pretends to be a roach. We have some pretty big roaches in Houston. Everyone runs around the house chasing the "roach" with a flyswatter while the "roach tries to grab our feet. Sometimes we'll leave a trail of food on the floor for the "roach" to munch on. It's a fun game because 9 and 10 year old girls are some of the most fun people on the planet.
Happy Birthday again.
