Moving along, my girl recently made a very big decision in her young life. Kerry accepted Jesus and was baptized! She's very young, but she really "gets it". One night she just kept asking lots of questions about "being saved" and just could not seem to let it go. I tend to believe that you can tell what they know by the questions they ask, and that if she's asking a question, she's probably ready for an answer. So I did my best to explain it to her. Shortly after that she informed me that she had asked Jesus into her heart! Two weeks later she was baptized. </div>

On February 28th my sweet girl turned seven!! Oh my word I cannot believe she is seven. This year she celebrated at Chuck-E-Cheese with her cousins and two friends. Seriously, how can she be seven?!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been months since my last post so I think its time for an update! This girl of mine is still growing like a weed and keeping us on our toes. She is about 47 1/2 inches and almost 50 pounds and is getting to be more and more of a "big girl" in so many ways.</span> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Oh my goodness, it seems like I just sent her off for her first day of Kindergarten and now she's a First Grader! And boy is she ever rockin' it. At our first Parent/Teacher conference of the year the report was that her math skills are at about a third grade level and she's now reading at a fourth grade level. I am seriously wondering how I'm going to keep up with this girl! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As usual she loved dressing up and collecting the goodies but barely ate any of her candy! I guess that's not such a bad thing...for her teeth, at least. Speaking of teeth, guess who finally has two very slightly wiggly bottom front teeth. She was so excited tonight when I told her I could see a bit of a wiggle. She's one of the only kids in her class who haven't lost any teeth yet, so she is so ready.</span></div>

Before I start posting photos of the pretty Fall colors that are just around the corner I thought I should post the very last of the Summer 2014 memories. Kerry had pretty much outgrown last years little wading pool so she got a new, bigger one this summer. She has had so much fun with this pool, which is now stored away in our little shed until next year. I took these pictures a few weeks ago and wanted to get them on here to remember later. I have really been neglecting our little "digital scrapbook" lately and I'm feeling a little bit guilty about it, I guess. Anyway, I love these fun photos of my girl!</div>

Oh my, how do I slow time down...just a bit?! The summer flew by way to quickly and it seems I blinked and this sweet girl became a big First Grader! School started three weeks ago, actually, I'm just that far behind. Anyway, I did manage to get a couple of photos on the first day of school but she was restless and eager to go so a couple of quick blurry photos is all I could manage. </div>

She is loving First Grade...her teacher is super sweet and four of her favorite friends from Kindergarten in class with her this year, BUT she's only three weeks in and already says she's "bored with all of the easy work". What are we going to do with this girl?! </div>

This girl of mine is still busy lighting up our world. We've been busy enjoying our summer and Kerry has been growing and changing at what some days seems like warp speed! She seems to be getting very lean and muscular as she gets taller. I'm sure this has a lot to do with the once weekly three hour pre-team gymnastics practices she's been taking part in all Summer. </div>

She's maturing in other ways, too. She's always been a sweet, sweet girl with a definite "spicy" side. You know, the normal bits of sass and poutiness you can expect from a young child..especially when they're overtired, overstimulated...or whatever. And, she she's had periods of moodiness and she just seems a bit more "emotional" than usual at times. She always seems to do this around our "gotcha day" anniversary but she always seems to have come out on the other end a bit more mature somehow. Lately she seems to be really demonstrating so much more patience, self discipline, and she seems to really be gaining the capability to see things not just from her point of view, you know? It's becoming clear, though, that this growth is leaving her a bit more vulnerable at times. Just today, before lunch, she was telling me how to do something and I didn't like her tone of voice so I just have her the "Mommy" look and said, "Excuse me?"... that's it. But that's all it took for her to end up in my lap in tears. Broke my heart. I just held her and assured her that Mommy always loves her, even when she makes mistakes, and that mistakes are okay and that even Mommy makes mistakes...a lot of them. She was fine after a few minutes but , wow, did I ever feel horrible. She seems to be the kind of girl who holds things in and then they end up bubbling over at unusual times...like outside of Famous Dave's Barbeque restaurant. It's amazing, sometimes, how much she's like me! </div>

I'm noticing she's becoming more and more interested in spiritual matters, too. We have the "Bible app for Kids" on our iPad and she spends a lot of time reading and listening to the stories and answering the questions. At our Church she recently graduated from the preschool-Kindergarten class to the elementary age classroom downstairs and is loving it. She talks about God and Jesus a lot more, lately, and I absolutely love it! She seems to be at a very "teachable" stage now, spiritually, so I'm trying to do my best to take good advantage of this. <br />

Kerry had an absolutely amazing Kindergarten year, as evidenced by her stack of end-of-year awards. She received awards for Art and French, top Success Maker in math and reading, Principals list for the entire year, and a JCPS Elementary Certificate of Academic Excellence. Her favorite is her Accelerated Reading medal. I am so proud of her academic achievements, but I'm just as proud of the other things that Mrs. Pfister has said about my girl through the year; like that she is inquisitive and enthusiastic, hard working, helpful, demonstrates leadership, and is a thoughtful friend. I know I'm bragging on my girl, but this is her scrapbook and I want her to be able look back and know how special she is and that Mommy and Daddy are so proud of her. And as much as I say that I wish she didn't have to grow so fast, I have so enjoyed watching her grow in so many ways during her Kindergarten year. She's learned so much about how the world around her works, she's become such a sweet friend to anyone and everyone, physically she's grown close to three inches, and I am in absolute awe of her confidence and self-assuredness. I love watching her grow, but I'm still putting in writing that, just this week, she said "Don't worry, I'll be your baby girl forever." I'm holding her to it. =)</div>

Oh my, how I have been waiting for Spring. And it's finally here!! I swear it seemed like the longest Winter we've had in years. We usually have a lot of temperature fluctuations to break up the monotony but this year it just got cold...and stayed cold. And we got more snow than normal, too, which means lots of snow days (an unprecedented amount in our state) to make up for my girls first year in school. The good news is our state legislature passed a "snow days bill" that allowed for a few days to be shaved off. </div>

I might not have been ready but she, on the other hand, was all excited about having another birthday. Her actual Birthday was on Friday and the weather was kind of nice..... and since the there was some nasty weather forecasted for Sunday (party day) we go let her have her big gift from us so she could enjoy it before Old Man Winter hit us with one last blast. She LOVES her scooter. She had outgrown her old helmet, too, so she got a new one. She is all into unicorns now so she is tickled pink with her new helmet. </div>

This girl of mine talks...a lot. Before I forget, I have to write down a few of the things she's said recently.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"Mommy, I don't ever want to die, I'll miss the IPad. Are there IPads in Heaven?" </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
" I'm serious-ing you!" (when she really, really means what she's saying, ha!)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
"I'm going to marry Nathaniel...but not until I congraduate and get a good job."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kerry: "Guess what my boyfriend's favorite color is"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Me: "Umm, what?! What boyfriend?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kerry: "Alexander!"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Me: "Ummm, and what makes you think he's your boyfriend?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kerry: "Because he said he was."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I know I'm only in Kindergarten but it seems like I'm, like....a 4th grader!"<br />
<br />
"My leg hurts. I think I'm having growing pains. That makes sense, because my birthday is coming soon." </div>

Kerry has been having fun making snow angels and even doing some sledding but I think even she starting to get a bit Winter weary. The good news, though, is that the forecast calls for temps in the mid 60's by this time next week. Yay!!</div>

Daddy might not be able to "disco" but they still had fun dancing the evening away and enjoying pizza and ice cream. When they came home she could not wait to tell me all about the music and the disco ball and which of her friends were there, and you should have seen the smile when I informed her that I was pretty sure this was something she would get to next year, as well. And after all of the dancing and excitement she slept like a rock that night!</div>

I have been a terrible, terrible blogger lately. Christmas and the New Year was just "off" due to illness, and then I was in a wreck and my car was totaled (Kerry was not with me, thankfully). Also my laptop is acting up. I have an IPad but cannot upload photos directly to it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, enough with the excuses. School was called today due to bitter snow and cold (around here 19 degrees F and 3 inches of snow is enough to warrant a snow day), so Kerry and I enjoyed some quality time just hanging out in the living room listening to records and playing. This also meant plenty of daylight, so I got out my camera for what seems like the first time in weeks.</div>

Poor Kerry spent most of her Christmas break sick. She was diagnosed with Flu A on Sunday and battled high fevers and was just generally miserable. We always spend Christmas Eve with Doug's family and Kerry loves the time spent with her cousins and by Christmas Eve she seemed to be on the mend so we went for it. These girls seem to be growing so fast! </div>

By Christmas Day she was really starting to feel bad again. She would not eat anything and at one point after she woke up from a nap and the Motrin had worn off her fever was up to 104.7! I nearly panicked but managed to get it down fast with a cold pack on her neck, a tepid sponge bath and more Motrin. </div>

Yesterday was the last day of school before Christmas break and the Kindergartners got to celebrate by wearing pajamas to school and having a Polar Express party and activities. This meant we had to make a "box car" for Kerry to wear as they paraded through school like a train as music from the movie played over the loud-speaker. </div>

Then each child got a visit with the big guy in red. They also enjoyed hot chocolate and popcorn while they watched the movie. Kindergarten seems like so much more fun these days than I remember it, haha.</div>

The Kindergarten and First Grade Christmas concert. Oh.My.Word. I could just die from the cuteness. Knowing how...exuberant...she's been on stage in past performances I could hardly wait to see this. True to Kerry form she really belted out the songs. Can you hear loud little voice? The last "Ho-Ho-Ho" makes me laugh every time I watch it. I'm almost certain I was born with stage-fright and I'm so happy that she has yet to be afflicted with it at all! </div>

Last year we were able to get outdoor photos but this year the weather has NOT cooperated. In the end I ended up using a photo from a completely different shoot, but I still love these. And I love my silly little stinker of a girl =).</div>

My girl has grown and matured, it seems, so much just since she started school. I was expecting it, I was warned that it would happen...but wow. Some of the things she's saying and the questions she's asking she would not have even just a few months ago. Just check out what she wrote and drew recently. I loved this so much I had to take a photo...it just makes me happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I already mentioned, this little "emotional growth spurt" has led to a couple of questions recently, too...regarding adoption, her beginnings...etc. Up until recently, no matter how I've tried to gently and age appropriately bring up the topic she would never take the bait. She usually just does not seem interested or curious in the least and will even change the subject. Well, we were at a park recently and there was an obviously pregnant woman and her family who were getting outdoor portraits done and Kerry asked, "Mommy, why wasn't I in someone's belly?" and I assured her that she had been. Then she said "But why don't I remember it?" This nearly broke my heart...I so wish I could giver her back even part of what she's "lost" and have all of the information and answers that she's going to want/need. I talked to her about this some more but before long she had "moved on" to do doing and talking about something else. That's what she does. I have noticed she's doing more role playing with her stuffies that include stories like "Penguin Puppet/Hootsie/ Baby Panda, etc. doesn't have a Mommy or Daddy" or "Hyenas killed his Mommy so he needs us to be his family". That sort of thing she's done for a while now but times like this I see an increase in it. And just this week she took it another level by pretending she has a "human" baby. Usually it's animals only for my girl. She says her baby's name is Abby and she was, of course, adopted from China. And last night she said our night time prayer and she asked God to "help all the little babies who don't have Mommies and Daddies get adopted". So wish me luck and say a little prayer for me that I have the right words (if there really are any) for the questions and discussions that it seems might become more frequent now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I know it's a total change of subject but because I want to get it document it I will finish this post with a funny little conversation we had recently. Kerry saw my maiden name on my FB page and asked me about it, so I had to explain that it was my last name before I married Daddy. She then asked "Who am I going to marry?" I assured her that she had a very, very long time before she needed to worry about that, but she just said "Maybe Nathaniel!". You may remember him from her Mother's Day Out class...and now they're in Kindergarten together. Oh boy.</div>

This is my baby girl's first ever school portrait. The first of many to come, I'm sure (I can almost envision them all in a large frame with the Graduation photo right in the middle). There's something so sweet about the Kindergarten portrait isn't there? The pigtails, the stiff, cheesy little grin, so sweet. And this is likely the last school photo with all of her baby teeth intact. I love this photo, and I really love this girl of mine =). </div>

Due to some wet and wildly windy weather (say that three times fast) Trick-or Treating in our area was postponed for one day. So we decided to have a little Halloween fun, anyway, by carving the little pumpkin Kerry picked on her field trip to Huber's farm. </div>

So my baby girl has been in Kindergarten for exactly 37 days (at least I think that's what she said earlier today, and she is keeping record). She is still loving it in a pretty big way which makes me very happy. We had our first ever parent-teacher conference and she brought home her first ever report card. It seems my smarty-pants girl is reading at a third grade level, and is above grade level in math as well. I can't really say I'm overly surprised but I'm still super proud of my baby girl. So the teacher has started giving her some first grade work and put her in an accelerated reading group. Mrs. Pfister also said that she was a very sweet girl who is "a joy to have in class" and "adds many insightful comments to our discussions". This makes me every bit as proud as the great grades =) </div>

She comes home every day singing some new little song or another, or saying something new in French. She's made some sweet little friends, and she's been on her very first bus-ride to her first ever field trip to watch a Winnie-the-Pooh play at the Kentucky Center for the Arts. She brought home her first "bug"from school a couple weeks ago. She ran a fever of 103.6 and was diagnosed with Strep, but she's all better now. And most recently we went to her first school skating party. She was pretty cute trying to learn to skate. She fell quite a few times but got right back up and by the end of the night she was managing on her own without holding my hand or using the wall for support. She had so much fun, she can't wait for the next skating party. </div>
