Delaney Turns 7

Sarah and I both look forward to these interviews each year with each kid.  Not only to chuckle and laugh at some of their answers, but to compare their answers from past years to see what has changed and what has stayed the same.  It is also a subtle reminder of how fast life passes by.  It feels like just yesterday that Sarah and I were in high school, graduating collage, getting married, and now here we are, with three daughters.  Wow, its just crazy.  It makes you really just sit back and cherish the memories and enjoy every moment. 

 

Delaney is now officially 7 and is becoming her own person.  She is the most caring and open minded little girl I know.  She has a heart of gold and a spunk that is second to none.  This year she started playing coach pitch softball and is the youngest girl on her team, not to mention the smallest.  This year, we spent her birthday in Wisconsin Dells at Noah's Ark and did her interview before bed on our patio, which is pretty evident in some of her answers in this years interview.  Here are her previous years interviews for comparison.

Maya Turns 7

 

Maya's birthday is today, October 13th, she's turning 7 this year.  She continues to amaze Sarah and I every single day with how she continues to mature and grow.  Over the last year, she has continued to become a "little mother."  Especially with Harper's recent health issue.  Maya acts as though she is about 3-5 years older.  She is loving, caring, and always looking to help, no matter how small.  This year, ever since Delaney's birthday (June), Maya has been asking to do her birthday interview.  This has become a neat tradition for our family and a fun way to watch how our kids grow and change over the years.
