itty bitty birthday

It's this little lady's second birthday today.



You may know her as "Elle". But that's not her real name. Nope. I'm still not going to tell you her real name. I WILL tell you her name starts with the letter L and that's how I came up with her ever-so-clever code name. And I WILL tell you that her REAL middle name is "Joyce". Two years ago, we named her after my husband "Joe's" (also not a real name...So sneaky, aren't I?) grandmother, a wonderful woman full of faith, goodness, and love for family. But who knew that JOYce would describe her to a T?

She is just that: a JOY! She has been from day one. And I know moms aren't supposed to have a favorite child--and I DON'T! I love all three of my kiddos just the same. But...if I could have a favorite. She would be it. Ssshhhh!

I love you little JOYful Itty Bitty! Happy Birthday!

  4. I too, do not pick favorites, except I totally do. This morning it was Boo, On Saturday it was Sissy, and any time I need a volunteer for a not so fun job...Bubble's my boy! Does that mean that I just named Bug my least favorite? Whoops!

  5. Yep, after 11 kids, one thing I have learned very well, there are times in your day, week, year and even life, when you will have favorites. They are all a favorite for something that is so unique and amazing! I love all my favorites and I am so blessed with their influence and love in my life. Love this post! It reminded me of what is most important!
