Three years ago God blessed us with this precious girl. We couldn’t have imagined just how much joy she would bring to all of us. We can’t count the amount of people who meet her & ask “Is she always smiling?” Well not always…but pretty close! She adores & admires her big sister who is great about showing her the ropes in life. If you see her, ask her how she’s doing & she’ll give you her trademark ‘thumbs up.’ We look forward to her continuing to make us smile & laugh on the daily!
