Kate has really acclimated to living in Hawaii. I am really proud of the confidence she has shown over the past 6 months. This year has been more challenging because she doesn't quite fit in with her environment. That hasn't stopped her from being friendly and helpful to all around. She has found a few good friends this school year, but often thinks about her past friends from Kansas and Texas. She is trying new things: math club, tennis and ukulele lessons, and track. She is always so thoughtful and LOVES to make crafts for others. Her latest crafts are clay earrings that depict fast food, Harry Potter characters, animals, and produce. Kate is driven. She wakes up early on school days to read for 30 minutes. She finished the Harry Potter series, wants to start a dog treat business, and loves to do extra chores around the house for cash. She prefers not to swim in the ocean during the "winter" months, but that hasn't stopped her from winning a friendly competition with her sister as first one in the water! Kate has been amazing at keeping in touch with her friends and family. She sends postcards to her friends in Alaska and Wisconsin; and is often found calling and/or texting her Aunties and Grandparents on her Gabb watch.
It has been so fun watching her grow into a little tween this year. She has so many gifts and talents. She is so kind and thoughtful towards others. She is determined. I am so incredibly proud of the person she is becoming. Happy Birthday Kate! I love you so very much!
