Simple

"Mama, can I play sand?"
"Mama, play catch wis me!"
"Mama, I hongwy."
"No thank you"
"Mama, I love cupcakes."
"Mama, I love donuts."

Mama.  That is my current favorite word.  The way she says it is just so sweet.

Today I had a million things to do in the house, but decided to sit and just be with Hope (and my good camera haha).  She is SUCH a good girl, and is at a super fun age.  She is helpful, and a good listener and polite and gives the BEST hugs.  Life for her is simple, and innocent, and I am just trying to soak in this stage, because I now know how fast it goes by! 
We are always running errands after we drop the bigs off, and she is so patient and happy to do so. When we get home, she often grabs Asher's basketball and wants to play catch with it, and is also really loving being outside these days.  5 minutes of catch makes her happy.  She's so easy to please, and so happy, and silly to boot.  I am so so thankful for this little caboose blessing of ours. 

"Mama, you want one?"

Sand!
