she's finally six!

Little Elsa Loie Lou finally turned six. I say finally because I have been mistakenly telling people she's six for a couple of months now. She suddenly seems to be so old. It makes me a little sad, because she really is so young still.

She's brilliant and determined. She has a champion attention-span. She has her own mind and is not easily swayed. She truly enjoys life--every bird and flower and blade of grass gets noticed by Elsa. She laughs easily and finds humor in many things--especially William lately. She is so loving and gentle when she's not sword-fighting and wrestling with her brothers. She is consistently content and happy. She is completely wonderful and makes my life so much happier.
