We celebrated Sila's 5th birthday today. It was great!! :D She received an early birthday present from her grandma last night. Two beautiful new church dresses. :D They're GORGEOUS. :D We're so grateful to loving grandparents who make sure to let their grandkids know just how much they love them. And no. . . . .it has nothing to do with the material things they buy for them. But EVERYTHING to do with the way they make them feel. The time they spend with them. And willingly.
I will be forever thankful for parents who lead by example by raising us up in the gospel & teaching us that FAMILIES will always be PRIORITY over anything else. Being able to celebrate the birth of each our children is always such a special occasion. For they are an ENORMOUS part of the kind of people we choose to be & become.
Sila has always been my MOST strong willed child out of our half a dozen. And literally. . . .since birth. Since the day I brought her home from the hospital, she clearly let me know what kind of personality she had. When she was unhappy with anything, she screamed her lungs out!! And her voice was so piercing!! Like pierce your ear drums type of cry. It used to drive me nuts cause it used to scare me & I would check everything to see if something was wrong or hurting her. We quickly found out that she was just a 'DIVA' & when she was pissed, it wasn't pretty. Lol. But with that came a very caring young child. She has the BIGGEST heart & when she sees others hurt, she's quick to offer comfort. Especially with her baby brother, Savou. She loves him dearly. When he was still an infant, she used to smother him too much, but now that he's growing into a toddler, SHE'S his favorite. He follows her around the house all day long. :D It's the cutest thing.
We love our beautiful Sila. She's growing up too fast. As they all do. But I'm happy to have memories to reflect back on & hope to continue to make more.
