Where did the time go?

Bear with me as I have a mushy mama moment! My baby is 2!! As I have watched Anna jump on the trampoline we got her for her birthday this afternoon, I am reminded once again of how blessed I am to have her. The last two years have been some of the most rewarding times in my life. Has it been the easiest time and all ups with no downs? No. It has been very hard, but very rewarding, and an honor all at one time. It is an honor for Casey and me to get to raise this sweet girl. I cannot wait to see what type of person she becomes and am humbled knowing that God gave us a part to play in that. Casey and I were watching videos, from last year, on his phone last night where she was learning to walk and it felt like that was just happening yesterday. I feel like time is going by so fast. Last year at this time she was barely able to totter around and now she is running wide open and she’s into everything and climbing and learning so much. This year has been full of funny new faces, and funny new words, and she says them in the most adorable ways. Like the way she says strawberry, it is “stew bee”. I love how she interacts with us now and the sweet kisses that I am getting. She is definitely a daddy’s girl through and through! She tells me all the time she loves him more and that’s perfectly fine, I love their daddy daughter relationship. And I know she really loves her mama too and she knows I’ll be here whenever she needs me. I love my sweet Anna Banana. I want to wish you a happy second birthday!!! Your daddy and I love you very much!!!
