Verity Turns Eight

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Verity! My world changed forever the moment you were placed in my arms. You wanted a sunshine party because you are our sunshine. You are smart, sweet and thoughtful, and you give the world's best hugs. Not a day goes by without you drawing me a picture of the two of us holding hands, with "I love you" written on it. I'm one blessed Mama to have you as my daughter and I love you more than you will ever know.

Pumpkin Patch 2016

These pictures sure made Mama happy. :)

This was my favorite part of the day. We put her down in the pumpkin patch and she ran to this pumpkin, squatted down and began frantically signing "please." We started teaching her baby sign language a few months ago and somehow along the way she just started using the sign for "thank you" any time she wanted something. She does it like she is blowing a kiss with her mouth wide open and its the cutest thing ever.

While the girls gingerly picked through the pumpkins looking for one without mud, this boy found his the-more-dirt-the-merrier- perfect pumpkin.

Why does my baby look so grown up?

Speaking of babies, this one is in her last two weeks of being seven. I can't believe it!
