I have been watching my children very carefully just trying to fully assess their personalities. I want to be able to fully identify their strengths so that I can help to guide them in their lives. This is what I have come up with.

Caylee is extremly hard working. I can just give her a job and I can expect it to be done. She wants to please Asher and I so much. She really enjoys doing her chores because she knows it will make me happy. She actually volunteers to clean her room right when she wakes up. She picks up anything that might be left on the floor and makes everyone's beds. Caylee also seems to have a strong heart for God. Even though we are all born sinners, I believe that some people just seem to have a more natural connection to God. They just seem to be naturally more interested and it seems their relationship is easier. I have known other children like that too. Caylee has been vividly interested in the divine since she could barely talk. She loves God and wants to please Him just like she wants to please her parents. She sometimes tells me not to talk to her because she is going to talk to God. I hope her love only grows deeper as she matures.

Natalie is appropiately nicknamed Sunshine. She just radiates joy when she is happy. She feels her emotions so strongly like her daddy. She is passionate about everything, but she is also dreamy and whimsical. She reminds me of Cinderella in the beginning of the movie when she is singing dreamily as she does her chores. Natalie does that quite often. Natalie also has a very active imagination. She is always imagining things. The other day she told me that she saw God in the sky.


Macy is just out there. I really have to keep an eye on her because it seems like she is always getting into trouble. Stealing food is problably her worst and most common offense. We put cabinet locks on and have moved the food higher, but she still seems to find ways to get around our efforts. Despite her naughty side, she is a sweet girl and everyone who knows her just adores her. She is very outgoing and friendly. She will go up to anyone she knows and ask to be held. And if one of the guys are laying on the floor she will go up and plop right down on top of them.

Bethany is a fiesty girl. She pretty much has to be with Macy as an older sister. She has mastered the evasion technique with anything she is holding. I can already tell that she is going to have a great sense of humor. But it is a little harder to fully know her personality yet because she is so little.

Of course Serenity is too little to known very much. All I know is that right now she is pretty laid back. I am looking forward to seeing who she really is on the inside and see what she is going to add to our family.
