This past Sunday, March 7, my middle girl turned three. THREE! Where, oh where, did the time go?
I'll never, ever forget finding out that she was on the way. Home from Ethiopia just four months with our new sons, we discovered child number four would be joining our family.
We were thrilled.
To know Kaitlyn is to know joy. She is fun, silly, opinionated, and sassy. She loves, loves, loves her siblings and has never known a day where three other kids aren't vying for her attention, giving her hugs, or wanting her to play. Now she is also adored by a younger sibling too!
I love my sweet Katie Jane and I so look forward to the various adventures that we'll share with her in the years to come!
Her party is tomorrow, but last Sunday she got to open some gifts from the grandparents after church.
I've always said that Kaitlyn brings such a fun, unique dynamic to our family, and it's true. She's the loudest and zaniest, even though in public she's the shyest, and honestly we would be so boring without her!
I love her sweet heart, her love for Jesus, and her determination.
Happy birthday Kaitlyn Jane!

Happy birthday to her!!! I can't believe how old ALL your kids look...in that last picture with the three of them, the boys' shaved heads add at LEAST a year or so! ;-) What a great family. I love hearing how people found out about the presence of their little ones, too. :-)
Happy Birthday to one of the very many Heldt family blessings! I may never meet you in person, but I am so glad that the Lord chose to grace this earth with such a precious little one. -Angela (and Family)
