Happy 11 and a HALF, Audra Grace!

There is no animal whisperer like you, Audra!  You can sooth, excite and pal around with any and all animals.  As of late, you've been doing your best to do your animal chores, which I know they appreciate.  When you have money, you buy treats for your animals.  However many animals we have is absolutely not enough in your mind. Not even close.  When you're a grown up, you'll absolutely have more. 

You thrive on routine but crave new things. A sticky place to be at times, but audiobooks help you out of these valleys along with your fave sports (swimming and ice skating lately).  You're also excited about the book series you're working through: Swallows and Amazons.  

Crafting has always been your passion and you always have new things you're enjoying.  Lately it's the intricate color books, weaving, making gnomes and pompoms, diamond art and jewelry. 

You care deeply about your friends and people in general. You care what they think of you and work your hardest to be at your best when you're with them. You were elected president of our 4-H club by your peers, what an honor! 

Day to day life is hard, hard, hard for you, but you keep keeping on. Someday I hope you can look back and say 'I persevered and it is worth it!'.  I'm front and center for all accomplishments and will always be your biggest cheerleader.  Happy 11.5 Audra! Love, Mama
