In the midst of all the excitement that the Branch house has been under the influence of lately, it dawned on me that though I had a 6 year old turn 7 in my house last month, I had yet to bring any attention to her. So as I'm preparing for my 5 year old to turn 6 this month, I figured I had better give a shout out to my Cam-a-Lam. Not that she'll notice. Her reading skills are pretty astonishing, but I have rules about computer usage around here, so I highly doubt she will read this. BUT, that's not the point. The point is not to do this for her, it's to do it for me...and whatever ones of you there are reading this. Because if you've ever met Camryn, you remember her well. The reasons for this certainly vary, but she definitely leaves her mark on your heart.
I could probably sum it up in three words: Camryn is incredible. She has facial expressions that would put any Hollywood actor to shame. A heart bigger than Arkansas. Blue eyes that will reel anyone in in approximately 2.14 seconds. A little voice that absolutely soars as she sings songs to her Jesus. Dance moves that I could only dream of pulling off. A compassionate spirit that would rival with that of Mother Teresa. She's stinking hilarious. And cute. And determined. A very special gift from God.
It seems as though I've gone from her being proud for sitting up by herself,
to her being proud for being able to read all by herself in just a few blinks of the eye (and yes, she went from a black eye to a set of eyes enhanced by some pretty stylin' glasses, too...)
Camryn has had an impact on many. She doesn't meet someone without having a lasting impact on their lives. And I myself am included in this category of impact. I'm proud, humbled and blessed to be her mommy.
Happy Birthday, Camryn!
