Happy 5th Birthday, Zoe and Ella!!

How do I love you, two?

Let me count the ways.

I love you on your very best ....

and very worst of days.

I love to see you laughing,

and dancing in the rain.

And even when you lose your shoes, 

I love you just the same.

I love to hear you singing.

I love to see you smile.

I love the way you take each day in your own unhurried style.

I'm happy when you're happy,

and I'm sorry when you're sad.

And even though it may not show, I love you when you're bad.

How do I love you, two?

Well, now, let me see ....

I love the way you act so brave when you fall and hurt your knee.

I love to watch you sleeping, tucked away in dreams,

I love to hear you whisper all your giant plans and schemes.

I love the way you wear your pants with the front part in the back, 

and the way you walk around sometimes with your head inside a sack.

I love to see you deep in thought. 

I love to watch you play.

And though I'm sure you both will never know,

I love you more each day.

How do I love you, two?

It's impossible to say.

For if I had a million days and time enough for all the praise,

I couldn't tell you all the ways ....

I love you both, so much.  (words by P.K Hallinan)

Happy Birthday to my BIG Five Year Olds!!

You two make my heart so happy.

I love your creativity, your kindness, your sensitivity and your sense of humor.  I love every single piece of who each of you are.

Keep shining Ella!!

Keep shining Zoe!!

Have a WONDERFUL Birthday!
