Gwen’s Birthday

It’s so crazy to me that Gwen is 15!! She invited friends over for a low-key celebration.  She has some of the nicest friends!!


Some things we love about 15-year-old Gwenny:

She is rocking High School academics.  She goes to SECTA and is so conscientious in approaching all of her schoolwork.  She gets straight-A’s, of course, and spends strategic time studying.  

She has caught up to me in height, I'm sure she'll pass me up soon! 

She still entertains her brothers.  They adore her and think she’s hilarious (which she is!).

She makes me laugh all the time.  She's so clever and witty!

She still has her dad wrapped around her fingers.  He still requests that she tuck him in each night (since she's a night owl).  

She still reads a ton--usually checking out 20 books from the library every two weeks.  

She has a knack for languages--for the last two years, she has been selected by her schools (2 different ones) for the student of the month of the year for language.  She has been taking Spanish and will often perform better than her Spanish-as-their-first-language classmates.  

How we love 15-year-old Gwenny!




Zach made this beautiful jewelry organizer.  Gwen is so organized so we knew she’d put it to good use! 

Her birthday fell on a Sunday so we had her birthday breakfast before church.



Nyle is so thoughtful!  He had to get her a gift!
