Two years ago, the LORD blessed Greg and myself with a sweet baby girl named Eden Jade, a little sister for Kyara. From the beginning, everything was different with her. She had a head full of dark hair and her skin was always naturally dark, the opposite of her elder sister. She was quiet, content and always so sweet. We knew that it just couldn’t last…lol, and we were right. Shortly after she turned 1, Eden realized she wasn’t going to get anywhere in life sitting in a corner quietly while life went on around her. She began to make noise when she wanted things, and she began to show her true personality. Today she is still a sweet little girl, who loves to say “pwease”, “tank-you” and “suwe” (excuse me)- but she has a very sassy attitude that cannot be denied. This girl holds a huge piece of my heart and it hurts to think of her growing up so quickly. To me she will always be my baby- the one who needs me, who wants to hold my hand, who loves her “bankie” and “owal”. But that too is all going to change as a new sibling is due to arrive soon. The poor baby is going to need an iron pen around it all the time, cause Eden is just going to love him/her to death…she’s been practicing on her baby cousin already!
As I was preparing for the baby, one of the things I always try to do is update the kids photo albums and scrapbooks, as I know it will be a long time until I have a chance to do that with a newborn in the house. And I noticed a pattern emerge- for every 50 or so images I put in Kyara’s album, I would maybe put 20 in Eden’s album. This child hates the camera. Although she has a wicked cheese face for me every once in a blue moon, most of my images of her are of her back 
I decided to take her out for her two year pictures, just me and her, and it was amazing. In 45 minutes I took 263 frames and I managed to get quite a few I loved! To say I was overjoyed is an understatement! Here she is, just being her-
The apple was a brilliant distraction- we have an apple tree in our backyard that she eats from every.single.day. Yes, I know….Eden, garden, apples- it sounds familiar right?! 
Happy Birthday Eden! Momma loves you! xoxox
