After her birthday, every holiday and now New Years, soon to be Valentine's Day, baby thinks life is one big party. Just as it should be I guess. She says "Party!" for everything.

Anniversary
Sitting in a tree
K I S SI N G
First comes love,
then comes Baby in a baby carriage,
then comes marriage.
Our story is different than most, but it is ours. Now hers.
Christmas Eve 2013
We have been here almost 2 years + after two Christmases (sp?) it still feels different. Not bad, but different. I'm sure it has to do with how much my immediate family has changed coupled with the fact that we don't spend it with my extended family. My family had the same Christmas for over 20, over 30 years + more at my Grandmas in KC. It seems like yesterday we were little ourselves, having fun + staying up later than we should. Everyone was happy + healthy + my grandpa was still there. Now, were grown with families of our own + spread across the world. We miss everyone every day + I hope I can make it back for another Christmas with them again.
A box of letter book. I never know what she'll be attached to at the beginning of the day.
Shopping + coffee drinking.
I love this swingy coat. I will cry when it doesn't fit her.
Smores.

Goodbyes Are Never Easy
We sang an early Happy Birthday to baby.
We feel the same way kid.
Presley knew Kate + Amélie were leaving but she really, truly thought we were going too. We were in California, Missouri + Texas, together, with a couple of days in between, for over a month + reality came for us. We had so much time together + it went by so fast. Every day the girls were together is a keepsake I'll have forever. Pres asks about her every day + tells me how much she misses her. She imitates her + asks me what color her eyes are, if she walks a lot + if she's coming to visit or if we can go see her. I try to explain that she lives far + show her how far it is on the map + that it's not as easy to travel to like California. I always promise her we will see her soon. We're able to FT + talk so that makes it easier but you can't trick yourself into not missing someone. I know we'll get to hold her again, we just hope she remembers how much we love her, no matter how far she is.
Poor babies were confused by all the ruckus.
