Worst life experiences during age 5: 

Having to get multiple cavities filled at the Dentist (It was pretty traumatizing.)

She now gets very car sick easily and frequently on our road trips. I hope this goes away.

When her Dad was gone to New Port, Rhode Island for over a month

I love this girls heart. 

Lydia is kind & thoughtful. 

I love this girls mind.

She is always thinking up creative ideas, making plans and asking me questions that I can't answer.

Lydia is brave and willing to try new things all the time. 

 I am so grateful everyday that the Lord sent her to our family and that I get to help raise her and see her grow and experience the joys and often challenges of this life. 

So far the age 6 is treating her well. I have her convinced that her voice sounds more grown up now what she is 6 and she is singing even more than usual around our home and I'm loving every note. 

I love this smile too....and her cute giggle.
