birthday girl.

today zoe went to daycare for a half day and since she's not going to be there on her actual birthday (friday), they celebrated with her today. when we got there this morning all the kids were all coloring a crown for her and when i went to pick her up she was wearing it with a huge smile, a cupcake in her hand, and a sweet present from her school friends and awesome teacher, mrs. shonna (or in zoe speak, mashanna - all one word). after trying a couple different daycare options and finally finding one that felt right, we are feeling super blessed. especially today! thanks to all those sweet kids and a wonderful teacher who knows how to make kids feel seriously special. thank you thank you thank you. we love you and appreciate you.

my big (almost) three year old.

happy. this is so zoe. i love these more than words can say. bliss. zoe, you are so loved.
