TWO!!!!

Wow. It's been two wonderfully crazy years since you've been on this Earth with mommy and daddy. You are each your own little people now. You've both had ear infections, Addison leading the way, as you normally do...and Jackson following a few weeks later. Jackson, you always seem to want to be doing what your older sister does. But now that she counts from one to ten in not only English, but Spanish...to the surprise of mom and dad...you are letting her get away with that. You are happy enough knowing your numbers in English. Jackson, you love to golf. It's so cute. Everyday when we pull into the garage, you go to daddy's golf bag, take out a club, get a ball and head to the backyard. Addison, you love bubbles, and princess stuff and your bee-ankee (blanket). Jackson, you've started to use a blanket too. You, like your uncle Marcus, just chew on the satiny edges, but it comforts you nonetheless. Jackson, you also let mommy hug you right after I change you and before I put your jammies on. I look forward to that part of the day. It refuels me. Addison, whenever I'm sad, you come over, put your arm on me and say, "You OK Mommy?" Thank you for that.

Oh kiddos. You amaze me everyday. It's so bizarre how the world seems to change when you have kids. I seem to see things with an entirely different perspective....yours. I continue to thank God that you are healthy. Jackson, you love PapaBear and look forward to seeing him, especially in church when you run to his pew. You both still ask for Gramma Mona, and it breaks my heart, because I wish she was here too. Some days, I think we could all use a great big Gramma Mona hug. I hope you always know you can come to me for hugs and hopefully they will cure your ills for a bit like hers always did.

I love you. Daddy loves you. We pray for you and talk about you constantly. May you continue to grow into the people God intends you to be. Be confident that God loves you. We love you. Always remember Who you are and Whose you are.

We love you to pieces and all together!
