Two Years Ago Today...

We saw your face for the FIRST time and fell in LOVE.

I have fallen more and more in love with you every day since then. You are PRECIOUS to me!

What We're Up To Today

Snow Day

Bear came down this morning, dressed in double layers, announcing her plans to go play in the snow. She looked out the window and paused. With a perplexed look on her face, she asked me if you can play in that snow. I told her it would be difficult.

Right now, the kids are in the yard gathering as much snow as they can so they can make a snowball.

Yes, I said a SNOWBALL!

HaHaHaHaHa!!!

Cracking myself UP over here! But, I love it! I guess they figured out a way to play.

Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday to my sweet Ellie!

You are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. You are driven. You set goals and nothing gets you distracted. Just like your dad. :)

You are also such a compassionate girl. You are wonderful and patient with little ones and you are always willing to give a helping hand.

And, you keep us laughing. When you are in charge of the camera, you fill our scrapbooks (or more accurately, our computer) with images like this.


And, you are always sweet to pose for your brother when he has camera duty.


I love watching you grow up, even though it is happening too fast!
