Happy Birthday Caysja and Aunt Chalise!!

Today is Caysja's 2nd birthday AND my sister Chalise's 22nd birthday! Yep--they were born on the same day, exactly 20 years apart!

I can't believe that my little girl is already two! That's just crazy! I can't be the mom of a two year old already! It seems like just the other day we brought her home from the hospital and I remember thinking, "Aaaagh--I don't know the first thing about being a mom!" She is a such a joy in my life. I can't imagine my life without her. She has taught me so much about so many things--being patient, what it means to truly love someone unconditionally, etc. I can't believe how much she has grown and changed in the last two years. She can run and jump, ride a bike (with me pushing it), swim (sort of) in our pool, and say soooo many words now. She is my angel. I love you so much, Kiki! We are having a little pool party for her this afternoon, so I will post more pictures soon.
My sister (my only sibling) was one of my very best playmates growing up and even though we fought now and then, I have tons of happy memories of growing up together. She is so beautiful and talented and I look up to her in so many ways. Chalise, I wish you could be here to celebrate the day with us! We love you and are thinking about you today too!
