Francie is FIFTEEN! Only fitting that I’m a week late on her birthday post and it happens to be National Daughter’s Day. 💕 Francie is wise beyond her years but still making the most of her adolescent days with a contagiously upbeat attitude. She is a determined horsewoman and practices hard to improve everyday. She is and has always been a leader – she looks out for her sisters and keeps them in line and focused on making themselves the best they can be (and cleaning up after themselves ;) She tidy, self-sufficient, determined and funny. This year, she is thriving in her new Laurel Springs Academy virtual high school program and taking full advantage of the honors coursework and extra time it allows when she focuses and manages her time. She loves her horse Red and they make an impressive pair. She is accomplishing big goals in rodeo and improving her roping skills – already winning a 1st place in barrel racing at her first high school division rodeo as a freshman. Francie loves her Dad and will always find time to do chores or ride around in the truck with him. She’s sweet and kind and patient to her mom which I very much appreciate. 😊 I just can’t believe it’s been 15 years of Francie! How lucky are we. ♥️ @francieheff #m5maryfrances #m5birthdays
