The Birthday Girl



We're headed for the beach, but I can't miss the opportunity to wish our birthday girl the happiest of days. Springer turns two years old on Sunday. That seems impossible on one hand and yet on the other, it feels like she has always been a part of our family. I cannot imagine our life without her infectious laugh, funny faces, adorable sense of humor, stubbornness (no idea where that came from), love of shoes and jewelry (again, who'd of thought?), sweet voice (deep, yet girly), funny way of saying things (until just recently Carver has been affectionately called 'Coco'), tippy-toe walking, great hugs, and joy galore. She is the little mother hen of her friends; always watching out for others (although not above inflicting a little pain) and taking care of the babies. I learn much from her love of life (she literally wakes up each morning jumping in her bed-"Watch, I jumping!"), her perseverance, her care of others and her love for her family (when her daddy walks in the door she rejoices like no other!). Her little life brings big things to each of us; I am honored to be her mama.
Springer, happy second birthday, sweet girl;
we love you dearly!
