Miss July turns three

Filed Under: Misc. 4 Comments

Happy Birthday, Miss July! Yes that’s you Miss Anika Iris Kathryn. You were born on this blog. At least most every milestone has been documented here. The last year has brought the most change in your personality and development. 

You developed a strong will and sense of style. I can’t just pick out anything for you to wear.  You like to have a say in the matter.

 You rarely get left behind. You love your big brother and sister. You often lead and don’t just follow.

Your brownish hazel eyes melt me but you tell me you want blue eyes. Your brown hair with curls is beautiful but you say you want “yong bonde hair yike mama”. No matter hair or eye color sweet girl, you are beautiful.

You have individuality and big ideas that I hope continue to swell and grow. You are small but mighty.

 But you’ll always be in my little cow girl…

Anika, age two

 that cuddles and snuggles with me like no other child I have ever known.

 I hope you keep dancing. Keep laughing. Running. Jumping. Aiming high.

Anika, age one
No matter where your big ideas take you Anika Iris, you will always be our cherished baby girl. 
Happy 3rd Birthday Anika!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
