2 Years Old... Already!

Where does the time go? I'm sure this is a question that most parents find themselves asking often whether their child is 1 or 20. DM and I are constantly asking when she got so big, when did she start talking like a "big" kid. Its amazing the things she learns on a daily basis from turning on lights to helping me with putting away clothes. She has one "chore" that she is in charge of which is feeding the dog and she has begun to do this with out being prompted most mornings. She is an amazing little person who is strong willed, smart and beautiful, and for anyone who may not believe in God, children are certainly a prime example of who he is and the gifts he has given.

A Hard Good Bye

This past Monday was a hard day for our family as it was time to say good bye to Libby. We brought Libby home for the first time 16 years ago, the summer after I finish 6th grade. She was full of spunk with a big black patch over her eye (which is mostly faded in the digital pictures I have). She was a good girl even through the end when her body had failed her. I know many people who read this may not understand counting a dog as a part of your family, but for us they are and because of that it is with heavy hearts that we all had to let her go to a better place.

As Isabel says, BooBoo's at Jesus house.
