Thankful for our Two Year Old!!

One Year Ago...
One Day Ago...

Dear Ruby,
It is difficult to describe with words what an amazing year this has been for all of us.  So many firsts with you.  Walking, talking, loving us back.  Your radiant smile and your belly laughs when we tickle you, bring so much joy to our foursome.  In the last year we have seen you grow in so many ways.  You have gone from toddler to little girl before our eyes.  Your bigger than life smile, and bubbly personality has added such a fun dimension to our family.  The way you practically come out of your shoes when your Daddy comes home takes our breath away.  We love your kisses, your big hugs, your Ruby sign language, the adorable way you say, "I'm TWO" the way you help, and the way you love us back.  Sharing our days with you is so much fun.  Life will never be dull with you in it!  Thank you God!

Happy birthday to our precious Ruby.  We give thanks for this day, two years ago, that God brought you into this world, and ultimately for His red thread that brought you into our hearts and into our lives forever!

We love you!
Mommy, Daddy, & Sissy

Happy Birthday, sweet Ruby!!

Brilliance turned two in June, and it's such a fun age!! She tries the "I'm two" too when people ask her age. She's so buy working on making her fingers show 2, that we crack up laughing every single time.

Happy Happy Day!
