Bee

This kid.  I stopped and looked at her the other day and had this enormous realization.......she got big!

She's still a peanut in stature, but this girlie has got gumption.  She is all Evie, and look out world, Evie Bee is BIG!

This lady is a lover.  A warrior lover.  Her strength, passion, and determination are only outmatched by her love.  There is no greater joy to me than watching how unashamedly, authentically, and organically this little girl loves me.  There is no pretense, there are no strings.  When she hugs you, you feel all of the love she has.  Its a reckless and overwhelming love.  It's Jesus in her and I am amazed. 

Evie has become a true student over this past year and we have watched her blossom, stretch her wings, test her boundaries, and settle into this thing called school.  She has done it her way and challenged the village, but there is one general consensus, everyone loves Evie.  She is the first to hug, the first to offer help, the first to smile, and the last to forget you.  Evie has a special heart.

Even Ellie gets to feel the love of this little girl.  Sometimes its suffocating and without spacial awareness.  Sometimes its just right and Ellie can't wait to smother her in kisses.  Love is a major currency in our house and Evie holds the keys to the vault.  Oh to love like Evie.

A moment spent with the Bee will make your life sweeter.  Love her well and she will hold you tight.

This baby of mine is big and I love her. I would never wish to keep her here, but I hold on tighter every time she hugs me and love the little lady she is.
