sweet pea:: it might almost be your half birthday but i sure didn't want this post to slip by. turning two has brought so much adventure and excitement in to our family. you keep us on our toes at all hours of the day & you love us so much even when you don't get you way. your smile really goes from ear to ear! i feel like overnight you turned in to this little girl but i keep trying to lather you with mustela lotion every night to keep a little bit of that baby in you. you have definitely been our more challenging baby but i think God just wanted us to learn about patience a little bit more :). your big brother is your very best friend and you want to do and say every single little thing that he does. we like to call you two "pete and repeat". he is always protecting you and hugging and kissing you every time you get hurt or get in to trouble. i have no doubt he will be right by your side every step of the way.
your second birthday was a day i will never forget since mommy lost one of her best friends that very next day. the whole day of your birthday was a roller coaster of emotions with Amy and during your party at the house the news started to pour in that she wasn't doing well. i prayed so hard asking Him to let her hold on to that day so that you would always have january 4th just as your birthday and not a day to be shared with grief. He listened and i was so thankful. one of your favorite things to sing is "give me jesus" and it melts my heart every time those sweet words come out of your mouth. you know when i need Amy and you always somehow sing it on those days when i really need to hear it.
happy 2nd birthday frannie! xoxo
