this past saturday … haley celebrated her second birthday! i seriously can't believe she's 2 years old already. they grow so fast. i was looking through some photos tonight … and the girls kept coming over and saying "look what haley used to look like" … or "i don't remember her looking that little". so i thought i'd put some together from the past year and a half that we've been lucky enough to spend our days with her.

and i'm not sure what happened over the weekend. but suddenly, this girl is into everything. climbing on tables and up the barstools. helping herself to my drinks after climbing up to the island. rifling through my purse … and taking all my spare change and going through my credit cards. digging around in drawers with all my papers and junk. taking the girls papers and notebooks that she found up on the table. going into the bedroom and the closet. going into the pantry and bringing out her own food. all these things are new … she's never done them before. and she's very sneaky about it. and yet she gets so caught up in what she's doing … that i can literally walk up behind her and scare the daylights out of her when she gets caught. lol! it was a crazy day!

that was actually fun pulling all those photos together … i should do that with the girls too. and trust me … i have plenty of photos to share. i was in total photo mode today. i'm almost completely caught up … editing, uploading, ordering. i have alyssa's birthday photos from september, disneyland photos from april, cabin photos from august. i just need to finish going through the pics from alyssa's trip to hawaii … from august 2007. lol! and i'm working on a complete "places we go" album that i'm hoping to share later this week … with tons of vacation photos. really cool concept to "get them done"! i feel like i have tons of other stuff to blog about too. some new layouts … some cards. somehow, i got off track on my blogging … and i'm trying to catch myself up. so that's my goal this week!

    Looking at the photos of Haley makes me kinda sad! I know when I look at my photos of Sadie, I will be so taken with how much she has changed and grown! Time sure does fly!

    She is adorable. They really change and grow up so quickly, but yet on days when they get into everything it does not seem fast enough. Good to have you back!

    And you thought she wasn’t going to be the “climbing” type. I knew she was watching Nicolas that one day when he was climbing over (or trying to) the gate.
    I love how you displayed the pictures of her through her first two years of life. Those frames are great.
