The Beach

This post is long overdue.  Colton and Hollyn took their first trip to Canada this summer.  They loved beach time with Elliott and Lucy that we went back for more.    

Thanks, friend, for a lovely day at the beach!

Quite the photo-bomb

Hollyn is 2!

Two years ago Jason and I were blessed with our baby girl.  Before becoming a mom, everyone told me how fast they years would fly by.  I was not prepared for this to be true.  The past two years have gone by in a blink yet have been filled with watching Hollyn grow into a sassy, smart, loving and happy toddler.  The best is watching her idolize her big brother.  Thanks, sweet girl, for being such a blessing in our lives -- we 'wove' you.

Birthday decorations for the birthday girl.

Hollyn's special Birthday gift from CC and Papa.  This kitchen cabinet was my Grandma Dorothy's (who I called 'Ma').  It was then passed to my mom and then to me.  CC and Papa stripped the yellow paint and refinished it for Hollyn.  Thanks, Mom - we love having this in our home.

Celebrate the 4th of July & Hollyn (almost) turning 2!

In just four days Hollyn Cornell will be two years old!  

We celebrated a bit early with family and friends on the 4th of July.

I continue to be amazed by the bond these two share.

Finally, a party without rain!  Unlike 1st Birthdays for Colton & Hollyn.

Push me, CC!

Hollyn loves her friends Emma & Lila

We miss you, Lucy!

Caleb found a new place to hang out.

Hollyn found Aaron, her second cousin who is just six weeks old.

Happy Birthday to Hollyn!  Or, as she says "My Bir-day"

Make a wish, sweet girl!
