Kalli Julynne

 

We are celebrating Kalli Julynne and her 15th Birthday.

Kalli was two weeks late making her appearance and when she finally arrived it was a very smoky day. There were forest and range fires and the smell permeated even the inside of the hospital, that hot day in mid July.

 

 

She was a big beautiful girl, astounding doctors, nurses and family alike when she weighed in at 8lbs 10oz and measured 22in long.

 

 

She greeted the world loudly and somewhat unhappily.

We named her Kalli, because we liked the name,  Julynne is a combination of her grandmothers middle names.

 

 

She adored her (little) big sister quickly dubbing her "Big Big" and equally quickly passing her up in size. They are still best friends, sharing secrets and small spats alike as all good sisters do.

 

 

Kalli is a social butterfly with a ready smile and easy conversation for all. She loves to talk and write and make things in the kitchen. She enjoys the outdoors, gardening, camping, hunting with her daddy and she loves her big white dog, Mini.

 

 

Kalli has the unique ability to have firm unwavering ideals and beliefs without judging or condemning others. She loves to be of service to others.

We are blessed to be her parents. As promised, Jesus is doing a fantastic job helping us raise her to be Christ-like.
