Happy First Day of School 

~Sevies~

 This was the first year I didn't get a picture with

our 4 girls together.  Abby catches the bus at 7:35,

so Abby was up and out the door before her sisters were awake.

Abby has such great friends to ride the bus with.  

They looked so cute with their band instruments.

Abby is ready and excited to be a Mustang.

We have two cuties at Oak Hills Elementary this year.

Kate is starting 4th Grade.

Kate loves her teacher Mrs. Jones.

  

Ella is starting 2nd Grade.

 Ella loves her teacher Mrs. Thompson.

 Kathryn Lauren Derrick

~10 Years Old~

 This beautiful girl is turning 10 today.

10 Years ago when they placed Kate in our arms.

We knew she was someone very special.

Kate has always had beautiful dark hair. She is a happy,

strong, brave girl with a love for life.

 In our family....10 years old =getting ears pierced.

 Blaine Smith is our wonderful friend and neighbor.

He was scheduled for back surgery on Tuesday,

which meant that Kate got to get her ears pierced

a few days early on August 17.

 He did such a great job piercing Kate's ears.

 Kate was so brave!

 She looks adorable.

 Kate & Morgan BFF's

Morgan came along to give Kate support and cheer her on.

 We went to Nielsen's to celebrate.

We love you Katers! 

We are so glad you are in our family!
