To say that this blog is long over due is an understatement, like so many of us, the busyness of life has kept us hopping from one activity to the next without being able to maintain the normal every day things in our lives. We did take time out of our busy fall to stop and celebrate the birth of our beautiful, vibrant, petite girl. Two years ago on September 24th, Siena came into our lives as calmly as one could wish for a child's entrance to be. But she hasn't remained a sleeping infant; Siena is a bouncy, galloping, bundle of energy looking to draw in the next person to her world of play. She explores everything with a infectious laugh that brightens anyone's day within ear shot. She is a true Southerner with her polite and friendly manners as she greets strangers at the store. Our lives are full of more joy than I ever thought possible. Siena has quadrupled that joy and every day with her is a bouquet of smiles.
Siena's birthday party was for family, who could attend and her little play group. No activities were held because when you are two, you don't need activities. All you need is your friends and a few new things to explore, which in Siena's case, were juice boxes. I wish I could tell you that she was a well-mannered toddler that day, but the fact is, she snagged all the other kid's juice boxes and finished them off. Gifts were not as important as playing in the backyard, so they were overlooked for the time being, until all her friends were gone. It was a memorable day; a fantastic day to celebrate a fantastic little girl. We thank God for her precious life and pray that He will grant us many more birthdays to share with her.
