So, happy birthday to my #2 girl! Actually, it is tomorrow but we are celebrating it today so I can go bear hunting this weekend. I don't even know where to start. Every day you amaze me. I think it is often because I don't know where you got your easy going character. Ever since you were born you have been super mellow. I love how you are up for anything. It doesn't matter what we are doing. I say "are you ready?". Without fail, you always respond "ready" and take my hand. I love it. I love how you adore your sister. I mean adore. Whatever she does, you have to do. You say what she says. You want what she has. You have to have what she has. The other day I was letting Kadee hold an egg from the incubator. You wanted one. I said no because I was afraid you would drop it. You broke my heart. Almost literally. You stuck your lip out and you ran to your room to sulk. I went in to see you and you put your arms around me. Needless to say, you got to hold an egg. I love when I come home you scream "dada" and you come running to me as fast as you can. I think that is my favorite time of day. You amaze me with your green eyes and blond hair and that smile. I love how affectionate you are with me. Kadee is more like me: go, go, go, go, go, GO GO GO GO!!!!! You are different. Easy going. Easy to laugh. Smart as a whip. So beautiful you make my heart ache. And I love it. I love you. You won't understand what it means to love someone as much as I love you for a long time. Happy 2nd birthday! Have a good weekend...maybe dada will bring home some black bear meat for you...that is something you love.
