Virginia's 2nd Birthday

This weekend we will be celebrating the 2 years this sweet girl has been alive! What a pleasure it has been to watch her grow, learn, and change so much over the last 2 years. Here is my prayer for sweet Virginia: Watch over your child, O Lord, as her days increase; bless and guide her wherever she may be. Strengthen her when she stands; comfort her when discouraged or sorrowful; raise her up if she falls; and in her heart may your peace which passes understanding abide all the days of her life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Here are a few pictures from her birth and some of her currently!

What a sweet baby face...

She was so alert as a newborn!

Her coming home outfit she looked so sweet in, but was way too big for this little peanut!

She was/is a doll!

I know I have already posted these, but they are too cute!

Wow, she has really grown up!

CHEESEBURGER!

We are headed to up spend the weekend and celebrate with this special girl and her parents! I cannot wait to spend some time together as a family! On Saturday, we will have her party and I will be back with a post next week about that!

For now I will leave you with this.....

Can you guess what kind of party she will be having?

A LOTTA V Time

It's been a little while since my last post. I have been busy the last few weeks going to LaGrange a couple of times helping my brother and his wife move into a new house. They are officially in the "new house," as my sweet niece calls it! On Sunday, my parents came home from LaGrange and brought Virginia home with them! Lindsey, Virginia's mom, let us bring her to Lili's house in Mobile for the week do she could get things at the new house settled and somewhat in place.

Wow, what a week we have had! On her first full day here, we played, ate breakfast, went swimming, and were in the car on the way to the grocery store all by 10 AM! So as you can see we have had a busy fun-filled week! We, meaning me, mom, and my sister, have all been tired by the time evenings roll around! I love hearing her sweet little voice say "Come on Namey," even if it is for the 100th time in a day! (She now calls me "Namey." We think it is a combination of Aunt + Amy.) Virginia LOVES LOVES LOVES to sing, so we have done alot of that this week! Lili sits at the piano and plays "Jesus Loves Me" or whatever else Lili chooses to play and Virginia sits right next to her singing along and playing along on the piano. I will try and upload a video of the duet later! We also have been working on helping Lindsey plan Virginia's 2nd birthday party, which is just a few weeks away! More on that on another day! We were able to take Virginia to Springhill College the other day and snap some pictures of her! I think between my sister and I we got some good pics! Here is that precious girl I have been spending my week with! As you will see, we had a fabulous time together this week! I hope you all have a happy weekend!

Love all of her many expressions!

Angel face

She loved walking the lines in the street!

She loves her new dress with "cwabs" on it!

Love her curls!

She has beautiful eyelashes!

She is such a good model for the camera!

Aunts are the BEST!
