~Little Sister Kate~

The Newest addition to the family.....

Catherine (Kate)

As my Dad picked me up from the house to take me to the hospital to see my new little sister Kate. I was quiet the whole way there. Something came over me it was like I didn't know what to say really. Just pure EXCITEMENT. We entered the hospital doors and I really had to hold myself from SCREAMING of pure excitement. As my Dad opened the door to my Mom's hospital room, I really did not know what to expect. A new baby a part of our family??? Could this be so????? It was so... It was real. I saw my beautiful Mother sitting there with a little bundle in her arms. I was so ready to see what she looked like. My Mom said "Hi babe". (That's what she always calls us girls). I said hi to her. She said would you like to hold her. I think you can guess what I said. :) I took her in my arms and I really was speechless. She was so beautiful. She had dark hair and dark sparkly eyes. I smiled at Mom and said she was beautiful. She really was beautiful. She has been the light of my life every since she came home from the hospital with Mom. She brings me joy every time I see her. When I get up in the morning feeling a little bit grouchy. I come down stairs and come into the room, and I see that face smiling so big at me it really is impossible to be grouchy at that time. She has now MASTERED climbing up the stairs all by herself. I thought I was going to die when I saw her on the first landing of the stairs clapping her hands and with the biggest look of self accomplishment you have ever seen. She wants what ever YOU have. If you have an ice cream cone in your hand you better be giving Kate some of that. There is no tricking that baby either. There is NO trying to hide your ice cream cone from her. Because she knows it's there. I feel so loved by her and so appreciated by her. When she gets hurt she looks up at me and holds her arms out to me. When she wants ME instead of somebody else. All of her wonderful "baby" things that she does now. Just makes me MORE AND MORE anxious to have children of my own. I love that Baby and I am sure that you can tell!! :P

My Life

My name is Sloan and this is my life....

My family, Jeff, (Dad) Stephanie, (Mom) Me, (Oldest) Rachel, Lauren, and the newest addition Kate. I live in a beautiful house in Florida. We are a Christian homeschooling family. I love my family so much and I am thankful for them every day. I LOVE to play tennis and also piano. I am taking on sewing with the rest of my sisters. I find it very fun to sew especially when you have two little sisters to help you with it when you forget a step. :) I have three cats and one dwarf hamster. I LOVE my kitties so much and I don't know what I would do without them. They are such good companions and very loyal. Angel, Tiger, and Shumpy, and hamster Hammy. :) I hope that you will enjoy my posts! :) Sloan
