This beautiful young lady is 12 today! Kendal is such a light and a joy to all around her. She is such a sweetheart and is so friendly and loving. She is so kind and friendly you can't help but be caught up in her happiness with her.
Kendal has a lot going on these days. School keeps her busy with her many classes and advanced math. She's also on a Sources of Strength committee that adds to her school days. (It's a group of kids that are meant to share goodness to others and look out for kids who need some upliftment and help in life.) A few teachers have told Casey and I what a wonderful student Kendal is. They're impressed by her kindness, thoughtfulness, and love of learning and knowledge. She does have a love of school and learning, it's come more at a price though in this transition to middle school. Kendal's anxiety has grown quite a bit, and it's something we'll continue to work on so that her school experience is a positive one. Outside of schcool Kendal's afternoons are full of piano, sports, friends and reading. Her days are busy and I know where just at the beginning of these full years. Kendal is advancing in piano and on her final lesson books!After she completes these she'll get to pick and choose harder song, hymns, and so on. She's enjoying choir this semester and even went out for some group solo's which she got and preformed over the weekend. Kendal is growing so much in her sports this year. She is killing it on defense in basketball right now and is proving quite the force! Kendal has stepped up and helped out so much as I have work, and as she's gotten older. We appreciate her willingness to watch Alice and Peter as we are busy or catch a rare date night.
For her birthday Kendal received: From friends, sticker / quirkle art book, cool geo lamp, mini waffle maker, gel pens, gift money. Grandma and Grandpa Loosle gave her a fun book, rings, and sheets. From Aunt Katherine, a scripture case, tote bag, and books. Grandma and Grandpa Darrington gave her a Barnes and Noble gift card. From us she got the Harry Potter book set, manicure kit, leather basketball, and an iron flask water bottle.
Kendal we love your golden heart! You are beautiful inside and out! We are blessed and so very lucky to have you in our lives!!
