two.

TWO

your world is enlarging,

there's so much to see;

the zoo and the park and the beach

are just three.

~~~

I'm here to protect you,

to keep you in sight:

your being safe

is my ongoing plight.

~~~

fascination erupts

you crave to learn;

I use lots of sunblock

so you won't burn.

~~~

not always aware

of why you're told "no",

you are continually testing

and on the go.

~~~

when we go shopping

I mist advise,

"we look not with our hands,

but look with our eyes."

~~~

the terrible twos

are thought of with dread,

but I say you're inquisitive

and just want to be led.

~~~

~ From: I'll like you at ten, I'll like you again.

Oh sweet Julia, our home has been Blessed beyond anything we could imagine.

What a precious gift you are.

I watch you in awe some days as you learn so many new things.

~~~~~~~~

Some of your favorite things I want to remember at this age are:

you LOVE swimming

you sing and dance to any beat

bath time is a highlight of your day

you're VERY independent...your daddy says you get that from me :-)

you always have to be doing something, you can't sit still for long

you are very cuddly and love to rock at bedtime

you nurture your babies and dollies

you give LOTS of hugs and kisses

you LOVE car rides and going "bye bye"

you are already a people person-you love LoVe LOVE to be around people!

We love you Julia Jane!

Happy Birthday!

five years

Five years ago today, I married my best friend.

I thought I knew what it meant to love you then Jeremy,

but every year my love toward you grows deeper.

We been together through some pretty hard times

and some pretty amazing, fun life experiences.

I love how you tell me that "you're my kind of pretty",

and that you always know how to make a bad day better.

I know I've told you this before but God knew exactly what he was doing when He brought us together. I love you babe and wouldn't trade what we have now for anything in the world.

Happy Anniversary!

new life.

You created my inmost being,

you knit me together in my mother's womb,

I praise you because I am fearfully and

wonderfully made;

Psalm 139:13-14
