Our Daughter...
Tabitha ~ aka. Tab, Taba, Princess, or My Darling Gazelle (Hebrew meaning of Tabitha) ~ 6yo
Tabitha is a tap-dancing artistic equestrian who loves Jesus, and her family. She's obsessed with all things Native American, and horse-related. She looks just like I did as a child, except that she has her Daddy's big brown eyes. She's inherited our artistic bents, and my book-wormish ways and love for writing. I'll often find her lounging in her room writing in one of her journals.
She diligently grooms and works at training our dog. She's fast becoming an accomplished rider. She loves animals and would like to be a large animal vet. one day. She says she may have a family and teach her own children one day, but she "mostly wants to be a missionary, and might not even get married". She's extremely giving, and an affectionate encourager. She's quite industrious, daily drawing, painting, weaving, crocheting or sewing something for someone. She also enjoys cooking and baking, and has invented a few delicious recipes of her own.
She's quite determined to keep up with her big brother, and usually does. Though she prefers playing rugged and tough, catching frogs and snakes, climbing trees, target-shooting and playing good-guys/bad-guys with the boys, she will also paint her nails with her girlfriends (though she takes it off as soon as she can), and loves to "play dress-up". She enjoys playing dolls and hopes to get an "American Girl doll soon". On occasion, she will even dawn a dress for the day, or a special outing, and request that her hair be "put up" extravagantly...a true princess.
Tabitha, aka. Gazelle, has also started her own blog; Horse Life
