I have known for a long time just how blessed I am with Rylee. She was such an easy baby. And she is literally the most well behaved 3 year old I know. She says please and thank you, without being prompted. She actually listens to directions. She eats her vegetables. She’s happy and healthy.

Sure we have our struggles, but really, what 3 year old does not challenge. She’s learning her boundaries. Those times, while frustrating, are few and far between.

Long story short…Rylee is such a joy to have in our lives. My heart explodes when I think about the love she has brought into our family. Her smile is contagious. Her laugh, infectious. Her heart is generous and kind and open.

I love this little girl so much that there’s times when I cannot even fathom having enough love in my heart for another little. Then there’s times where I see her with babies and I cannot wait to see the love she will have for a little sibling.

There’s times I am literally moved to tears when watching her grow and develop and learn new things. So many times I don’t have the words. All I can do is smile and beam with pride.

I can’t help but think we’re raising her right.

These are some of the photos I snagged on my phone over the weekend. Andy took the tractor out to do some field mowing for some people so Rylee and I had a lot of time to spend together… just us girls. The sun shined all weekend so we spent a lot of time outside.
