Hope turns 12 today. TWELVE. For those of you who have been hanging around this blog a while, you are probably feeling as baffled as I am. How in the world did that happen so quickly? More than that, how has she turned out to be the most sensitive, thoughtful, intelligent, hilarious kid I've ever met?
I'm so thankful for these past twelve years. I love my little Hope Larissa. She is truly the best there is. (Now excuse me while I go cry my eyes out.)
Hope with blue hair is the very cutest thing.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, girlie! She'll be a teenager before you know it!
Adorable, but those lips are freaking me out.

Beautiful pictures. The one from Elsie and Jeremy's wedding made me gasp, she's so perfect! Happy Birthday Hope!
ReplyDeleteMy little girl just turned twelve this year too. She's my youngest, as I also have a fifteen year-old and an eighteen-year old daughter as well! There's something so special and magical about having daughter's. My favorite pic, though they are all very sweet, is the second one, with the picnic. Darling!

Hope is going to be that really cool adult that everyone envies because everything she gets into and does and creates and is will be too awesome to handle. Clearly, you guys have amazing genetics and parenting skills for creating such a cool human. Congrats on that, and happy 12th birthday Hope! May it be as awesome as you are and will always be.
