My baby is 2!

Can you believe it? I can't. There we were - just young kids - 22 & 23 years old. We got the call, jumped on a plane and a few hours later laid eyes on our beautiful girl. I can still remember the emotions of that day...that minute. They came in after we had been waiting for 18 hours in the hospital room to tell us "You'll have a baby in 10 minutes".

They decided to do an emergency c-section! WHAT?!! Its crazy.

I can remember standing in the delivery room as they brought her in -

still covered in all the yucky stuff :)

She looked so perfect. She was ours! She had beautiful black hair and big black eyes.

I still can't believe we did it! My husband isn't the type to welcome change, or to try new things - but HE DID! We talk about it alot... He still can't believe he did it :) He has made the comment -

"If I had known that it could be this great - we would have done it sooner!"

But I think things turned out just perfect.

She lights up our lives.

Look at us - our little family.

Here she was just 4 months old.

Don't we just look perfect together?

Here is my big 2 year old smelling grandma's tulips!

Here is our princess... just a few days old.

Doesn't she look amazing?

She has always been a daddy's girl:)

She went through this stage of liking bath time - then hating it - then liking it again.

My big girl learning how to sit up :)

I thought she just looked so old in this picture!

My favorite sleeper :) She is just the cutest :)

And now... now she looks more like a little girl than a baby.

She has such joy. She laughs and smiles and sings.

She loves to paint her toe nails and also play with rocks in the dirt :)

She loves to chase and be chased...

On her new swing set from Kyle's parents -

She is learning to be a gymnist!

This is my girl - our girl. My life would not be complete without her.

I love her so much.

Her smile is just beautiful :)

I pray that she will be a woman who seeks after God...

Who sees others through the eyes of Jesus...

Who has compassion for everyone she meets...

Who has a sensitive spirit and who is sensitive to the voice of God...

Who wants to make a difference in this world...

Who is a woman of integrity...

Who will have her eyes set on eternity...

Who will know that her life has a purpose....

That she was created by God - that her life is not a mistake...

I pray that she takes her story and feels empowered by it...

That others can know God's healing by her words...

I love you Kinsey!

My Victorious Spirit!
