My Youngest Is Growing Up!!

“Hey Dad. Yes Baylee. We have to cheer Basketball tomorrow night at 6:30.  May I go out to an early dinner with my friends and then we can report to the gym before the game and cheer?”
That was the question posed to me yesterday.  Wow, my youngest is growing up and becoming her own.  Kinda hard for me to initially swallow; however, I am so proud of the woman she is becoming.  I always describe her personality as one who listens and is a student of human behavior.  She is very aware of her surroundings and astute to every word she speaks and every action she performs.
She has such a big heart and is extremely loyal to those she calls friends.  She will go to the ends of the earth for a friend and not even think twice about doing so.
Baylee is also like her sister with her grades and study habits.  She has maintained straight A’s for the last 5 years, including her first year of High School.  Her cheer schedule is not easy.  Three practices a week from 3:30-5:30.  Cheering maybe 2-3 time a week at events as well as staying involved in her church Youth Group in leadership.  All this while still maintaining her grades.
Kerry and I have been so blessed and excited about both of our young ladies.  They have become independent in their actions and yet have shown love and respect to our family as a whole.
Here is a video link to Baylee’s last cheer competition.  Baylee’s Cheer Video
 I can tell you this, she starts off in the front, left section, from then on…..good luck following her.
In closing, I can not think of the right words to describe the emotions I feel for my family.  This I can say, I am humbled and in awe at the love and grace Jesus Christ has given me by blessing me with my Kerry, Samantha, and Baylee!
