Birthday Party!!!

Hey Precious girl!
We had your birthday party today with Elmo every where! You were beautiful as usual and you played so great with your friends. You had quite a crowd of people here who love you very much: Mimi, Poppy, Gigi, Pops, Aunt Jenny, Selah, Levi, Aunt Rachel, MoMo, Will, Caroline, Katie B, Brett, Aunt Margaret, Jeannie Poo, Mr. Ger, Mrs. Eve, Michal and Nora Grey. You received way more than your fair share of gifts so I think we will weed through your toys and donate some to other children. I was so proud of you today and how well you shared your toys and how excited you were to just have your friends around. You had an Elmo birthday cake with ice cream and it was all over your face:) You swam with your pals in the kiddie pool and jumped on the blow-up jumper until I thought your legs might give out! It was a good day, wasn't it? You are loved!

I love your heart my sweet girl and I pray that this sweet presence that you have lasts forever! God has created a special person in you Zaya and I pray that I can be the parent that you need to help you to become the amazing person that you are quickly becoming. I love you and I love watching you grow!

Happy Birthday Princess!!



You're 2 years old!!!!!!!


I can't believe that my little girl is a two year old... its crazy how fast these years have gone. This past year has been a wild one for us: we moved to Minnesota after your first b-day and now we're back in marietta, you have gone from a quiet little thing to a chatty beautiful active little girl. You truly are beautiful and fun and I love watching you do your thing each day.


Your favorite things these days are pretending to talk on the phone, repeating everything that your dad and I say, making Bean laugh, playing in the sandbox or on the playground and playing with friends. The other day I heard you talking in the living room and you were saying, 'Hey, darlin. Thats what pops says' It was so cute and you were so happy just thinking about it. You are LOVING some Veggie Tales and singing songs with Larry, you ask to watch them all the time.


Your personality is beautiful and you are so gentle and kind with your friends, it makes me smile and I know it pleases God too. I love you my sweet princess and I am so excited for what this next year holds for this family of ours. I'm excited to watch you grow! You are a treasure!
