Nine months in the life of Maia

I've never claimed to be a great blogger.  And the past 9+ months have proven that to be true.  To say having a third child has given me a swift kick in the behind is putting it mildly!  But I'm slowly but surely getting the swing of my new normal.  So, I'm going to play a little catch up and hopefully stay more on top of our blog and try to post more often (heard that before???) Starting with Maia, here are some brief overviews of the past nine months of our lives...

Maia - the 7 year old


 

Maia completed the first grade this year and earned the Principles Award both semesters for academic excellence.  She also completed her second book in Sparks by learning over 50 verses.  Her smile looks a bit differently now because she's lost six teeth.  And for her 7th birthday, she got her ears pierced!

Some of her very favorite things to do are crafts, swim, crafts, watch The Electric Company,  and crafts.  She also LOVES her little sisters and really loves to laugh!

My most favorite thing about Maia is that she has a genuine love for her Creator.  She's inquisitive about things of the Lord and even at this young age, you can tell she already struggles with her sin nature, trying not to give in to it and desires to live a life pleasing to the Lord.  My prayer is that this part of her will never change.
