Mary Kathleen Orr

Watching a movie with her Sara and two baby dolls. She loves holding and helping Sara.
She put out Kool-Aid and a marshmellow peep with a sign for the Easter Bunny this year, letting him know it was for him. She is a creative girl.
Striking a pose (sorry, I can only turn it on our main computer and I am too lazy to go in there right now)
With her friend, Gabby. Look at her eyes. MaryKate is a beautiful girl.
Her doll, Deola. All dressed up and ready for a car ride.

MaryKate is my helper. She is either helping take care of Sara or carries one of her many baby dolls around and takes care of them. We've exhausted many batteries letting her babies ride in the swing or bouncy chair when Sara wasn't using them. She is a phenomenal reader and surpasses all of her goals for the first grade. MaryKate has a hard time trying new things so I was so proud of her when she wanted to do piano lessons and has loved going and learning. (I think it helps that it is a close family friend that is teaching her). MaryKate has a flair for details and puts them into her artwork and "Projects" that she is constantly doing. She reminds me of Ramona Quimby with her paper prowess. MaryKate also has a keen fashion sense and a great ability to pose. She is a good friend and is very kind to everyone. I say often, and I mean it, that I don't know what I'd do without her. She is my friend and my daughter. My lovely girl.

MaryKate likes to read to Sara and Sara is a captive listener.
