Lena is Eleven

Our sweet Lena Lu is eleven years old and is dancing her way towards high girlhood. What a year she has had, full of hard moments with Lyme and healing but oh with what courage she met all of the mountains.  She is beautiful and gentle, a mother to all and tender with her kitties and chicks.  She is a book girl and enjoyed the Redwall series, Nancy drew mysteries, Cherry Ames books, James Herriot and read over 70 books during her school year.  She is a wonderful artist, and flowers and vines appear on grocery lists and staff paper along with a creation of Shakespeare paper dolls.  Lena has a sweet and pure soprano voice and we all enjoy listening to her sing throughout the house.  Lena loves to be organized and plans her days with great detail. But she's always up for a good romp in the woods or a wade through the creek.  She loves her dolls like a faithful mother and always turns up dressed up in a different era for lunchtime.  Our dear girl plays the piano and violin and was part of the Forte Fide Ensemble and a new homeschool choir. She knows her plants and medicinal herbs, is not afraid of mud or bugs and can get her baby brother to sleep when no other can.  Lena thinks deeply about things, about her Savior and the broken world around her and prays for all hurting. How we love our tender, deep thinking, hard working girl and pray for God's richest blessing on her now and forever.
