Loved

Loved. Yesterday was a special day for this beautiful young lady. Fourteen years ago she was brought home from Russia to become a part of my neighbor's family. She became theirs and made their life complete. I have known her for about 7 years and have enjoyed watching her blossom into a snotty, moody teenager (lol, just kidding, Kate!).
She is kind, loving and down to earth and she brings so much joy to her family and friends. My kids adore her.

And, she swims FAST!

LOVE these trees.

Such a pretty smile!

This is more about the dogs... I love how they are all attached to the rope toy. Katie doesn't have a chance to get it away from the close to 300-ish pounds of dog!!

Thanks! So glad we're friends and neighbors!
