my dear keona

Yesterday, my baby girl turned 5. How did that happen? Here are few of my favorite moments over the last 24 hours:

• having my hair done (around 3 times so far) at Keona's new beauty station
• hearing her say, "Look mom! I just turned 5 and my legs are already taller!"
• savoring her intentions to "live next door so we can always play together when [she] grows up."
• during family devotions this morning, smiling in response to Keona's sincere question: "Mom, does Jesus wear a red cape?"

Maybe he does...
