Jaclyn's 10th Birthday!

Wow, she's 10!  We're definitely getting into the tween years now and in double digits!

Jaclyn had a fun birthday party at home with friends this year.  There was plenty of giggling, dancing, crafting, and more giggling.  They all had a great time.
 Friends are Sophia Doorn, Amanda Weih, Lydia Cui, Aubrey Miller, Kalin Rotzoll, Abby Anderson, McKenzie Logan and Lydia Hunter.




So, let's list what she's into these days...
- favorite sports are volleyball and cheerleading
- currently taking a musical theater class, piano lessons and worship dance class at church
- best friend is still Abby Anderson, but she is still a social little girl and will play with anyone!  Has many friends at church and at school, but doesn't seem to stick to just one...she tends to gravitate to different people at different times.  She definitely has some leadership skills but is still learning how to navigate the hard task of working with others.
- this year she started a little "kids club" for some of our young neighbors and they actually came!  She had a little Bible lesson and activities set up for them.  She discovered that little kids sometimes don't do exactly what you want them to!  :)
- really enjoys projects at school and research.  She enjoyed being Elias Howe for her class' Inventors Wax Museum.
- still enjoys reenacting plays and musicals for fun at home with her sisters
- has started to experience babysitting.  She helps watch the many kids in our faith family.

Oh, how things are going to start to change as she gets older!  Next year holds many new experiences including school sports and band!  I am looking forward to the years ahead as she navigates becoming a young lady.  May God keep her safe and guard her heart.  I love you, Jaclyn!
