Keira Turns 7

Even though Keira's brother still think she's five years old, she is indeed 7 now.

At the beginning of October, we like remembering Keira's birth story from Kenya.

It's the one birth of the family that we were all present for, and the kids were old enough to remember.

Keira's birthday started with cards on the table, but nothing else.

She loves scavenger hunts, and we sent her on one that led her up and downstairs and all around.  She had such a good time!  

However, I'm embarrassed to say that I filmed the whole hunt, and didn't get one still picture.  You'll have to take my word for it that she smiled the whole time.

Keira is a pretty thoughtful young lady.  She is always willing to help whenever asked (and sometimes before).  She's good at encouraging people, giving hugs, and gathering the family for game nights.  She is honest and strong, but also tender-hearted.  She loves to laugh, have a good time, and play jokes on people, and I'm really impressed at how she has learned French over the last year and a half.

This is her with her three best friends from school.  They are kind and loving, just like she is, and I'm so thankful they are in her life.

Since we are currently on lockdown, she is really missing them, but we have Video-called them and also let her text them through Doug's phone, and that seems to keep a smile on her face.

Happy 7th birthday, Keira!
