This littlest peanut lights up my life. Both the girls are the light in my life but in two different ways, and that is a beautiful thing. This girl has a spirit about her that puts herself on the map yet she shys away (just like her sis) around new people. I must attest this to her developmental age yet when around her familiar faces she is a hoot. She always asks for your hand to walk around and it doesn't just have to be down the stairs. She is self sufficient in her play and could spend lots of minutes in a pile of books or trying on hats, shoes or clothes. She adores her big sister but has her own voice in the mix. She is such a lover and grabs my face with both hands to give love. She gives love on her own time yet doesn't perform on request. Her big brown eyes are full of thought and she verbalizes what she needs to say when she needs to say it. She LOVES to lay in sis's bed at night before bedtime and would love to stay there all night. She gets a little upset when its time to move from "cuddle song time" to her own spot. She says " I lay down" meaning she is content laying in sis's bed. It melts my heart because I remember the feelings of wanting to sleep beside my sis and feel that comfort. I can still say that I always yearn for my big sis's comfort. She is one amazing little sister and she just fits perfectly into our family. So amazing!!!!

3.5 years old (ish)
WOW!!! I can't believe it, this little big is 3.5 (ish) years old. Where has the time gone? She has grown into an amazing little person. She is a true lover of life and soaks up every new experience in front of her. In fact, she thrives on new experiences. She isn't always sure about the "people" involved in those new experiences, but she adapts and breathes in every moment. I love to watch her explore and engage in her surroundings. I feel this sense of peace watching her. Her being is so refreshing and I love the moments that I allow myself to soak up every inch of her self. She is worth every second of parenthood. There are tough moments that test every inch of my being, but then I hear her say "I can do it all by myself(s)" (emphasis on the more than one self) and my heart sinks into soaking up every minute of her being. As her mother, I am learning how to be a better mother everyday and she teaches me that. For that I thank her!

G- pa Frank
The girls have this grandpa wrapped around there finger. Grandpa Frank absolutely LOVES his grand babies. He is the kinda guy who keeps to himself and who is quiet in nature and therefore doesn't outwardly express himself likes his wife (grandma Cindy;) I know that he adores the girls because he shows it in simple sutle ways, just his style. We are lucky to call him grandpa!
Easter Day 2012
G-ma Cindy & G-pa Frank joined us at the lake...

We hunted for eggs and baskets filled with tons of goodies...

We fished for a couple hours...
the water had yet to be let into the lake and so the fish weren't biting like we would have liked but there were a lot of laughs and simple time spent together. You can't ask for much more than that if ya ask me!
