The Batts Family: 2015

Caroline is 3 1/2!

Caroline Jean- 42 Months Old

Caroline- you are such a fun addition to our family! We absolutely adore having you as our baby. You are full of spunk and personality and you have your brothers wrapped around your little finger. You experience emotions so fully and we can usually tell what is going through your mind just by glancing at your face. When you are happy, you are very happy and when you are sad, you are very sad. You love to play with your toys and dollhouse and play very well by yourself. That being said- I think that you will miss Henry next year when he is in school full time. You two are best of buds and enjoy playing together. You're favorite days are "just girl" days on Tuesdays and Thursdays when Henry is at school and you have me all to yourself. You are very much still a momma's girl, but you think that daddy hung the moon. You tell me several times a day that daddy will fix this or daddy will fix that. We are so happy to have you for our little girl, sweet Caroline!

Thomas is Nine

Thomas Nathan- Nine Years Old

My precious Thomas- what a joy you are to us! You amaze us daily as we watch you turn into the boy God created you to be. You have a kind and generous heart and care deeply about your family and friends. You love sports and have amassed an amazing amount of trivia in your head! Football, baseball, and basketball are your favorites to watch and you love to play soccer, baseball, and basketball. There is nowhere you'd rather be than outdoors- you can spend hours out in the yard playing your own games and exploring. You are patient (most of the time!) with Henry and Caroline and usually convince them to play whatever you want- they just want to hang out with you. It has been a fun year of watching you grow and develop and learn. We are so proud of you!
