Five years ago, God entrusted Matt and I with a beautiful little girl!  Erika has grown up so much this past year.  She started preschool, so has been having adventures with new friends.  It was kind of difficult to have her experience things without me, but it has also been a lot of fun seeing her interact socially.  She has done really well in school this year and loves to learn.  She is a very sweet girl and makes sure all of her friends feel included.  Erika is still a really good big sister and a great helper for me.  She keeps Laurel and Levi in line, but at times she is a bit too demanding of them.  She is super funny and cracks me up on a daily basis with her phrases and the way she talks and acts.  She loves drawing and making cards for her friends.  She loves riding her bike and scooter, playing outside and is not afraid to get dirty or climb way up high on anything climable.  She loves the Fresh Beat Band, Team Umizoomi, and all Barbie movies.  She loves tacos, "sgabetty", chicken nuggets, roast beef, carrots, broccoli, and anything sweet.  She loves singing, dancing, and playing hide and seek.  Erika is a beautiful, funny, smart, caring, kind, obedient little girl and we are so proud that she is our daughter!  We love you Erika Boo!
