Happy 2nd Birthday, Hope Elizabeth!

Where has the time gone? My little girl is 2! It seems like just yesterday we were checking in to have her and now here she is 2 years later.

Coming home from the hospital:

1st Birthday


2nd Birthday Party


At two, Hope loves:
- everything pink. She wants her pink cup, her pink shoes, her pink dress, her pink bow, her pink....
- diet doke (i.e. diet coke)
- to play with her dolls. The stroller even goes in the car with us now. "My dolly, mommy."
- jewelry - her neck-necks (necklaces), bracelets, earrings and of course, no outfit is complete without her shoes.
- recently to have tea parties with the family. She even knows to serve mommy diet coke.
- her bubby. She adores her big brother even though he makes her scream regularly. It's so much fun to watch them play together.
- to dance.
- to sing "owy, owy." (Holy, Holy, Holy)

Hope's eyes dance with mischief and her smile lights up a room. She is a joy and a delight and we are so incredibly blessed to have her for a daughter.

Happy Birthday, my sweet girl!

Happy Birthday Hope!

Our daughters are too much alike. Emory also regularly asks for "necks necks" for necklaces, she loves the color pink, is obsessed with shoes and her eyes also dance with mischief. These two need to meet ASAP!
