Two girls, a dog, and the parents that love them: Happy Birthday Jules!

I see Matt beat me to the punch. But you see, that was yesterday... today it's official, the babe is one! It's amazing how quickly time passed, and how much she's grown.

Julia is a talkative, smart little girl who knows what she wants, and won't take no for an answer. But with those great big sparkly eyes, and a smile and giggle that melt me, she usually doesn't have to try too hard. She loves her big sis more than anyone, and Lydia loves her right back (Of course this morning Lydia did say to me "Mama, if we could just get rid of Julia, we could go running outside.") After asking a few questions, I found out that what she really meant was she wanted daddy to be at home to stay with Julia, so she and I could go outside and run around... "because Julia can't run in the snow" yet. Well, with as fast as time flies, and with as quickly as Julia learned how to walk, I assured Lydia that it wouldn't be long before Julia was able to run right along side her big sister.
