Sophie Lu...

TURNS TWO!

That's right...today our little baby is no longer a baby, but a BIG GIRL!
I still cannot believe Miss Sophie is TWO.

I remember as if it was yesterday, when they placed this tiny, blue eyed, blond haired, little girl in my arms. I had never seen anything that small, or held anything that precious before in my entire life.
And then I was told she was MINE...all MINE!!!!
I will NEVER forget that moment as long as I live!!!
It was in that instant that I knew my life was forever changed.

Sophie Lu...you are one of the most precious gifts we have ever been given!
We adore you more that words could ever express!

From the top of your bow that ALWAYS adorns your head

to the bottom of those sparkly shoes (your favorite pair) you are CHERISHED!!!

Today, we also remember your precious birth mom.
Because of her, we celebrate YOU.
She gave you the gift of life AND allowed me the privilege of being your mommy!

I am humbled and FOREVER grateful!

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
We could not love you more!!!
