Our Lucky Charm turns 2!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Pea!  It seems like you should still be that tiny little baby but WOW, there is so much difference between 1 & 2!  You are so smart & have such a strong vocabulary (daddy will never get a word in now that there are 2 of us)!!!  You are so happy & have such a sweet soul.  You have a great imagination & it’s so much fun to see your mind working!  You showed me your counting skills the other day when you asked for M&M’s & I told you that you could have as many as you could count…you counted to 14!  (they were mini m&m’s)  You have made our role as parents so enjoyable!  God has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams & we thank Him for making us your Mommy & Daddy!

We let Landry open her gifts from us on her actual Birthday.  A New Baby Doll, Stroller & all that “little Mommy” stuff…she ABSOLUTELY loves her baby dolls!  The clothes offered little to do be desired-HA!  We went to Build-a-Bear & to eat at the Cheesecake Factory.  Landry picked out very her own animal, a dog named “Scruff”.  She picked out pj’s for her/him???  and sunglasses!  She was sooo cute when we told her to pick out a heart for the dog.  I asked her where her heart was & she looked confused, so I pointed to her chest & the next thing she was doing was putting the heart on the dog’s chest.  She helped step on the stuffing pedal & did all the things the employee told her to do before giving the dog her heart…rub it on your nose so she always “nose” you, rub it on your belly so she never goes hungry, rub it on your forehead so she is smart, rub it on your knee so she always “knee-d’s”.  We gave Scruff a bath & then off to eat Birthday dinner! 

Party Count Down=3 days!

 

I’m Turning Two!

We took Landry to the park this morning & did a little photo shoot for her 2nd Birthday.  It was soooo windy & I had the bright idea of incorporating balloons…made for some interesting moments!  You would never know it but Landry DID NOT want to hold the balloons or smile, AT ALL!  We encouraged her to keep going by making our way to the ducks…”keep looking for the ducks”.  Whatever works, right?

Texas Snow

Well, who would have ever thought that Arlington, Texas would host the Super Bowl & have weather that would make the Pittsburgh & Green Bay fans feel right at home???  The ice is still here but we got a beautiful snow fall that lasted almost all day.  We bundled up & headed outside, cabin fever had officially set in!  It was 20 degrees but through the eyes of a little one, your heart is full of warmth.  She was concerned about the snow on her boots at first but with a helping hand we made our way into the yard, caught snowflakes on our tongues & watched Dexter give his stiff, old dog bones a workout (dogs get cabin fever too).  Landry was missing her friends from our multiple days locked inside so we headed over to Mimi’s for some more snow play with Londyn.  They both had a good time until they looked like little Rudolphs & had to go inside. 

God creates some beautiful things that surround us but often go unnoticed; snow highlights all those wonderful things!
