Day 4: Family


(This is me as a baby with my Mom and Dad. Dad was sure rockin' the mustache. And the um, hair. Now he has no mustache and little hair.)


(I was an only child for the first 7 years of my life. Here my parents and I are at Disney World, my first trip. I was 5 here.)


(Dad, Mom, me and Gracie. I think that Gracie was almost a year old here, so I would've been about 7.)


(Here my family is with Steven Curtis Chapman. Ian had arrived about a year before this happened.

Day 4: Your Parents

For those of you who plan to say "Oh my goodness, you look JUST like your mom', go ahead and stop right there. I already know that EVERYONE thinks that, so you might as well not even say it! :P I don't mind hearing it, but it does get old. Just a warning. :)
I may look like my mom, but if you ask her, I have a lot of my dad's tendencies, so I am probably more like him than I am like her. But, you know, I also act a lot like my mom. I think that anyone who truly knows me and my whole family, knows that I am a pretty good mix of both my parents.

My parents and I have always had a really good relationship, even when I was little. I would say that they are truly some of my best friends - and I feel like I can talk to them about anything. I know of so many people who can honestly say that they don't have a good relationship with their parents, and I truthfully, don't know what I would do WITHOUT mine. They are always there for me - and chose to homeschool me because they love me that much. It amazes me. They also decided to adopt my siblings from Vietnam when I was 6 and when I was 12. :D More about my siblings is coming in the next post! :D

I can also - like Katie - say that I have another set of people that I look up to - who I would say are definitely my second parents. We've known them probably close to 5 or so years. :D The picture that I'm going to post is from my birthday almost a year ago, and they now have another baby. But sadly, it's the most recent photo that I have with them!
