Two years ago, on the eve of St Patrick's Day, I gave birth to my second daughter.   In so many ways, it seems like it was yesterday that I was pregnant with her, but at the same time, I feel like I have known this precious girl my whole life. I call her my hippie baby because she always has a calm inner glow to her.   She is super affectionate and spends a large part of her day hugging her sister, dog, mom, dad, grandparents or if no one else is around, her dolls will suffice.  She is a peaceful soul and almost always has a smile on her face and is filled with belly laughs; but, if she is unhappy about something, she is not afraid to show it and will stand up for herself in a heartbeat, especially against big sister.   She also has a way of quietly getting into mischief and has somehow figured out how to dismantle all of the child locks in the house.    I could go on and on about her, but I am not one to gush about my kids, so I will just end by saying, happy birthday to my beautiful lucky charm; my heart abounds with love for you.  Here are a few images from her birthday photo shoot.  I am so glad we snapped these photos on the rare 57 degree day we had last week.
