What a year!

Yesterday I posted a few videos of Bennett and today I wanted to post some pictures from the past year. And what a year it has been! I cannot even wrap my mind around the changes of quiet and sweet little Bennett on her first birthday to this bubbly giggly, full of life, talkative Bennett on her 2nd birthday. Is it too cliche to say that you never knew how much you could love someone until you have a child? She has my heart firmly in her grasp and I love every ounce of her. I think of all the changes she has been through as well. In her 2 years she has lived in three houses, been through two big moves, had 13 hour car rides, multiple plane rides, and added a baby brother to the mix. She's been through a lot, but kids are surprisingly resilient and I couldn't be prouder of how she has handled herself. She is a delight and a joy and I cannot wait for the next two years- just as long as they don't go by as fast as these past two.

WOW! It is amazing how much she has changed in a year. She is more and more beautiful every day (if that is possible!). I'm going through the same sentimental time as I realize Owen is quickly approaching his second birthday as well. Sigh...
