It's tough being the oldest. With three little brothers. Three busy, crazy, like-to-get-in-your- stuff little brothers. But Felicity does a great job. She turned eight (yes, EIGHT!) on August 10th, and was unbearably excited. She had her birthday party (Pony party, she loves all things horse right now), started going to Activity Day and will be baptized this week. She's done a lot of growing this year, you can see it in her face and how she does things. She conquered her bike, and is so happy to zoom around the neighborhood, training wheel-less. She spent about a quarter of the last year reading, everything from Nancy Drew to Pony Pals to Misty and Stormy to the Friend magazine. Really, anything she can get her hands on. It's hard to get her to stop most of the time. She's been drawing a lot, too, and is making a House Notebook where she's creating different kinds of houses. She has some made of rainbows, clocks, flowers, crayons, shoes, books, taffy, sun and rain, and even eyeglasses. Animals are favorites, too. Besides horses, she loves rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, dolphins, and anything else (almost, anyway, snakes aren't a great favorite). She loves our new cats (more on that later) and has taken over the feeding of them, and let me tell you, they are not going to go hungry. She loves being around people and is always asking to play with friends, and she has some wonderful ones.Our little Joy is growing up and it's great fun to watch her do it.
