Macey's 9 !!!! (finally the blog)

Macey turned 9 last week! I waited to post her birthday blog until after her party, so that I could have some cute pics from the party...then the camera was MIA. So now, only a week later her birthday post.

9 Really Neat Things About Macey!

1. Macey has a very kind heart and has really shown that all people should be treated fairly. I have had the opportunity of watching her talk with others that had physical or mental impairments with great ease.
2. She has a strong sense of right and wrong. In fact, when she gets in trouble she almost always has a strong argument about why she did what she did. We actually pause sometimes to try and see it her way.



3. Macey jumped right in from the very beginning to teach Lilly things such as vocabulary, writing, and the rules. It wasn't accepted well by Lilly at first, but because of her persistence, Lilly quickly learned to go to Macey for help.


4. Macey shares her mom's fondness for organization and is a SUPER helper with household chores! Yeah!

5. Macey has a strong loyalty to her friends. It may take a little while for her to warm up, but once she does she considers the other person a friend for life!

6. She is very smart and catches academic concepts well, but more importantly that "smartness" carries over to her Bible study! I am so proud of how well she grasps and thirsts for God's Word!

7. Macey has a very generous personality. She has no problem giving her whole allowance to church or to people she feels are in need. We have all learned a lot by watching her do this in a very quiet manner.
8. Macey is a great sister and would stand up to anybody that she felt was being unfair or mean to any of her sisters!
9. The jump start to our adoption had a lot to do with Macey and her not understanding why if we could adopt that we hadn't done it already. She came to us several times and sinply asked "Why don't we adopt?"
We are so proud of all that she has done, accomplished, learned, and given. We are blessed to be her parents!

We love you Macey Moose!
