52 Blessings Project, #6

Jemma

I love age 5. It wouldn't be fair, or accurate, to say I love it more than any other age, but I'm presently enjoying it. There is very little crying with five-year-olds, compared to the earlier preschool years. There is an air of independence, but still a good amount of dependence and need for mommy. Learning every day, wise discoveries, uninhibited imagination and creativity, little hands with dimpled knuckles, all baby teeth still intact. I like to call her my little girl, but she insists that she's a big girl. My big little girl. Just like my big little boy.

I love your description of age 5, I liked it too. My kids both have big teeth now and it's just not the same.

I'm thankful for Jemma too. I love her imagination, her sweetness. I love how she is just so beautiful and kind, and how she loves animals as much as me (rare thing in a Holdaway clan)! She and Jordan are really great kids.

It was fun catching up on your blog. Hope you had fun in SD. We are excited to see you this weekend. I think we will leave Thurs. afternoon. I was thinking maybe we would go to boondocks Friday night and then after their graduation Sat. we are going to have a pizza/ice-cream party. Those are not definite, but thats what we have in mind. We are also open for any other suggestions. I know you are busy with sports and work, so don't feel obligated, we just want to see you sometime though. We are not leaving until Monday.
