Kate's Birthday

We had a wonderful, and busy day celebrating Kate. It was soccer game day (and we had an early game) so we started early with a new Kate tradition of getting pumpkin pie for breakfast (partly because I need an excuse to buy my first Costco pumpkin pie of the season). Then we headed out to soccer games for L and J and found our way back home for a somewhat lazy afternoon before going out to dinner (Spaghetti Factory - Kate's choice). The only downside was when we got to the restaurant we had to make a detour to urgent care to get Jaydon's finger looked at from a soccer injury earlier that day. He wound up with a small fracture in his right index finger.

Now about Kate! She is so full of personality. She has these facial expressions that are hilarious, her voice and inflection are super cute and she is good at making people laugh. We often get questions on if it is hard to discipline her because she comes off as angelic but also somewhat devious in her ability to give you a look that may let her get out of anything. She is loving being in T-K this year and going to school every afternoon (11-2:35) at the same school as big brother and sister. She loves to volunteer answers and can definitely be a bit of a bossy pants. She is still doing gymnastics and looks forward to doing dance this spring and starting some other sports in the fall (though managing all three of their schedules will be a challenge). Kate loves coloring and doing art projects, she also enjoys playing with horses and dolls. She gives some of the best healing kisses for boo-boos and is still a snuggler. She brings a lot of energy and joy into our lives.

 Happy with her dinner at the spaghetti factory!

And...Jaydon's swollen finger. Probably should be its own post but oh well.
