Dear Laura Kate,

I can say with full confidence that you are the most funny person I have ever met (and that's saying a lot considering I am married to Kyle Wiley). When I was pregnant with you the Lord impressed two words on my heart for you and one of those is "joy". It has been so wonderful getting to see what the Lord has meant by that word on your life. You give joy and you are joyful. You rejoice and you share joy. As we watch you grow taller every day (it seems), and mature in your life experiences, our greatest prayer will always be the verse that hangs above your bed, that "with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation" (Isaiah 12:3). It is such an honor to be your mom and to get to see the Lord grow you up in Him and get to see how he develops your brain and your heart. You, my sweet girl, are a treasure and I am so very thankful for you!

-You wear size 4T and size 9 shoes
-You are READING! Everything you see you try to sound out and read. It is remarkable.
-You love your brothers and love to help mommy take care of them
-You love to play doctor and help make your babies better (including plastering them with bandaids)
-You sleep 11 hours at night
-You love anything to do with princesses and in your heart you truly do believe you are a princess
-You like to sing and dance all day long.
-Your memory still amazes me. You can memorize anything and remember it forever.
-You love school and continue to do well.

I love you, sweet girl.

Love,
Mommy
