My cutie Aubrie turned 7 (a month ago!). She is a smart little cookie and a deep thinker. Sometimes these two qualities are a rough mix for her because she tortures herself worrying about things. But she also constantly surprises us with her connections and deep thoughts. Some examples of this: she told us she thought 'The Grinch' must be Jewish since he doesn't like Christmas! One day, she told me how she thought it must have been hard for me when my parents got divorced, but she's actually glad for it because otherwise we never would have had Toni and Lauren (my stepsister and half sister). She often has deep discussions about books she reads and also has impressively creative ideas and projects. She is in love with art projects and her American Girl dolls and books. This is why she chose the theme of a doll craft party for her birthday party.
It is impressive how seven little girls can so intensely work on craft projects for hours and not want to do one other thing! It makes for an easy party! They made necklaces for their dolls, headbands, and decorated little bags for them. Notice the array of dolls they brought (sitting on the couch!).
Aubrie loves school until she feels like she isn't getting enough mama time (which has happened a lot lately with Kyler's health issues). But apparently she does well at school. Her first grade teacher recently emailed us describing her as "happy and silly and works hard. I can't ask for a better student!" Aubrie has many talents and one of them we have learned recently is that she is an awesome speller. She has many friends and is a great sister. We love you Aubrie and are so proud of you!

Happy Birthday Aubrie! I wish we could have been there to celebrate with you. I can't believe how much you look like your Daddy in that first picture!
