"I fow-teen!"


We can't get her to answer, "I'm two." When asked her age, she just says, "I fow-teen." Scary. Today she is two. My baby is already two!

She is still the one in our home that is freshest from heaven. It is often the baby that reminds the rest of the family to smile and keep priorities in order.

But it is the rest of the family that helps the little one learn and grow. As we were doing her little birthday festivities tonight I was again reminded about the importance of families. It is clear that Heavenly Father placed us in family units so we could help each other come back to him. I know these are silly little examples, but it was fun to watch the big brothers come to her aid when her little wisps of air couldn't put out her candles. (They were pretty anxious for that manly job!)

And again, helping her catch the excitement of receiving a gift.

And later, just reading to her and helping her get the most out of her new bath bubbles.

Young and old we are all here for each other. And today we are celebrating Sarah being with us for two years. Happy Birthday, Sarah!
