Everyone loves Cate....
Letting Ezra help blow out her candles on her cheesecake bites which are a favorite.
Always helping wherever needed and without being asked.
She always has room for a brother or sister or 2.... on her lap.
She deeply and passionately loves her family...especially her little brother, Andrew. He knows this too and responds the most for her. I have learned alot by watching her.....
This is our Cate...always willing to be there with me. She is a second momma, she is able to manage the family when I am gone, cooking for the bunch, orgainizing the day or activity like I would :) She is a gift and a pure servant. I am so happy to be celebrating this daughter of mine's 19th b-day. Her mom was only 13 when she had Cate...In our country she may have been aborted by such a yg. mom. She was placed in the orphanage and lived there until we adopted her at the age of 13. She surprises me with little gifts of love - like yesterday am when I came down to the kitchen I had a plate of eggs, tomatoes, cottage cheese, toast and sparkling cider to drink fixed by her. She has a gift of serving and she is a precious daughter and friend to me. Happy Birthday Cate !
