Before you even ask…YES, I have 2 kids with birthdays the first week of January (and Brad’s is the week of Christmas).\u00a0 Not very good planning.\u00a0 I’ve never been known for my planning!<\/span><\/h3>\n

.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Happy Birthday to my Sweet AnnaLeigh! <\/span><\/h1>\n

(a.k.a., Pinky, Leigh, Maniac)
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/span>I just can’t tell you how much I love this little maniac!\u00a0 She is small and mighty.\u00a0 She rules the roost!\u00a0 She is a miniature little woman, but has her mama’s Italian temper.\u00a0 She has brought our whole family so much joy!\u00a0 She makes us smile every single day, from the time she wakes up and starts demanding, “Come get me out!” to the way she bosses Sam (“Hammy”) around.\u00a0 She’s a woman who knows exactly what she wants and will make everyone laugh as she gets her way.\u00a0 Her smile lights up the room. She’s cute, wild, speedy, and loves people.
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>She is loving and motherly and LOVES babies. She loves her cousin Truett.\u00a0 She’s 5 weeks older, and they have so much fun together.
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>AnnaLeigh completely has my heart!<\/span><\/h3>\n

We’re joined at the hip…almost literally!\u00a0 At a whopping 21 pounds, I carry this child 90% of the time, and I love it!\u00a0 I love that she loves me, and I love that she wants me.\u00a0 She’s my shadow.\u00a0 I love my little sidekick!\u00a0 She melts my heart daily with her cute little personality.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>I just can’t believe this little baby girl is 2!!!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Seems so cliche, but it’s just so true.\u00a0 Time is flying.\u00a0 I am trying to treasure every moment with my little Pinky, but somehow my baby is still growing up…even though I’ve demanded repeatedly that she not!\u00a0 The good thing is that she’s getting older, but not bigger…so at least she’s trying to obey, right?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

Lord, thank you for this sweet little firecracker that was such a surprise!\u00a0 We didn’t plan this child at this time, but your plans are always greater!\u00a0 Thank you for the absolute joy that she brings every one of us.\u00a0 Thank you that my baby girls each have a sister to lean on and love.\u00a0 Thank you that she has a wonderful older brother, whom she respects and admires.\u00a0 Thank you for her precious smile and her nurturing little heart.\u00a0 Thank you for her health, her abilities, her personality.\u00a0 Please protect her and help me to protect her innocense.\u00a0 Help me to know how to discipline her and train her in the way she should go.\u00a0 Please guide her and give her wisdom and discernment that only comes from you.\u00a0 Please help her to be a sweet friend and to have wonderful Christian friends, as I always have.\u00a0 Thank you for blessing our world with this baby girl!<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
