I cannot believe that 5 years ago we were blessed with this little girl! Time flies. Meredith is such an awesome kid.

My mom tells me that she is so much like me (this would include her bad attitude). She wears her heart on her sleeve. If she's mad, you know it. If she's excited, you know it. She can be Jekyll and Hyde all in the same minute.

Meredith's sweet side is super-sugar sweet. She loves to chat it up and has big ideas. She is a cuddle bug through and through. She is a people person when she's at church and co-op. I hear constant compliments on her great attitude (where is this at home?) and abilities.

Her not-so-sweet side...well, it's getting better! I am hopeful. :)

Meredith is extremely particular about her clothes (another trait she received from me). She has favorite shirts that she wants to wear over and over and over and over again. And to bed, too. We have to draw the line somewhere!

She loves creating anything and is really excited to play soccer this summer.

Meredith, we are so blessed to have you as part of our family. You are such a joy. One of our favorite things about you is your passion for whatever it is that you're doing! We love you so much.
