I sat down to write the Christmas card letter, I came upon a huge case of writers block, and a bit of procrastination. So I decided to blog a bit.
Katie. Katie is high, high, HIGH, energy! She never walks somewhere. She runs, skips, leaps with a half twirl where ever she goes. She does this from the moment she wakes up till the minute she climbs half way up the bunk beds and does this hanging twist thing from the top bunk. She has only been to the ER once. No stitches, they just glued her back together!
So what do we do with our high energy Katie? We enrolled her in gymnastics, so for one hour a week she can safely and literally bounce off the walls!
Katie warming up, stretching good so she doesn't get hurt.
Here she is finishing a hip circle. They have hanging contests that tests their arm strength, our little powerhouse is undefeated!
Remarkably, Katie can focus all that energy into her beam work. She has incredible balance. She could jump over blocks that were set on the beam and stay on the beam. Sorry, no picture of that, any that were in motion were blurry. Gyms are notoriously badly lit and huge. That means really bad motion shots without a flash.

Sometimes we feel like she has drained all out energy to keep up with her, but one beaming grin from this girl and we are totally energized again. Love her!
P.S. the mark on her ankle is a temporary tattoo.
