When You're Number Two...

You're the pride and joy of your big brother, and 
he enthusiastically tells everyone he meets, "We have a baby sister!!!" 


The other half of Daddy's lap belongs to you.


You can sleep anywhere, and to you, the best sleeping music is the sound of Jackson's diggers and dozers doing their magic. 


There are less stories on the Blog about you--not because you're loved any less, but because we are busy making memories. 


Your Mommy has seen how fast One baby grew up, so she spends more time hugging, kissing, and rocking you.

Love you Reesie Roo :) 
















You are lugged around to Preschool, soccer practice and wherever else the day might bring us, but you don't mind; you are just happy to be part of the group. And we are, of course, thrilled to have YOU. 



Most of all, when you're Number Two, you get to be the one to show us that we really can love another child that much...that God has again blessed us beyond what we could ever think or imagine. So to our sweet little Roo Roo whose smile lights up a room, whose joyful spirit is utterly contagious, we are SO glad you came along. Every day is brighter because you are here.

Love you, Reese Caroline. So glad God picked you to be our precious Number Two. :)

Oh, I just love Jackson's blazer and khakis-just like Dad's. And I could eat Reese up with a spoon. What a beautiful, precious family you have.
