Elizabeth turned fourteen three weeks ago. I can hardly believe that my scrumptious little baby "Lil' Bit" is now turning into a woman. Elizabeth's request for her birthday was that the entire family be home. Daddy still went to work, but he and Paul stayed home from Scouts that evening so that we could all be with Liz.
Grace sewed Elizabeth a purse for her birthday. She copied the pattern of a purse she already owns. It turned out really well and Elizabeth loves it.
Our Lizbeth is a special gift from God. She has an innate understanding of children and is often able to get her youngest siblings to willingly do things that others in the family cannot. She is very patient with Isaac and his occasional two-year-old tantrums. She also has a dry sense of humor that adds a little levity to our days.
A few days ago, Paul asked Elizabeth what the digital clock said to the grandfather clock. She immediately responded in her usual monotone, "Old Timer." The real answer, Paul informed her, was, "Look! No hands!" I liked Elizabeth's answer better.
