Happy 2nd Birthday to my sweet little Staci!

I didn't expect to get emotional with this post, but I was talking to my sister-in-law on the phone a couple of hours ago, and she was saying how the time just goes by so quickly and how it just seems like yesterday when her girls were born. I am sorry, but I have never really felt that way. I am sure that a lot of the reason for that is because of my circumstances in life right now. It is just hard to survive day-to-day, especially with chronic pain, and a husband who can't ever be home to help me... so time seems to go SO slowly, but as I was looking back on these pictures I started to feel a little bit of that "I can't believe my baby is already 2 thing." I need to cherish every moment, because even though it seems to be going slowly right now, I know I will look back on it when they are grown and gone, and it will feel like such a short time I had them!

Staci is my little monkey, but she is such a sweetheart. We all love her very much!

Only 2 days old - Isn't she beautiful!? Both Jackson and Natalie couldn't get enough of "Baby Staci"
Don't you love the look of terror on Staci's face in this picture? She had no idea what kind of crazy family she was being born in to...it's a wonder any kid with siblings survives!

Baby with attitude!
