Lois is 2

On December 28 (more than a month ago, I know!) we celebrated the second birthday of our little girl who is such a joy to our lives. She is such a loving and delightful little person; her singing and hugs and spunk bring lots of laughter to our days. As a perfect complement to her sweetness, Lois also has a mind of her own, and an ever-increasing vocabulary to reveal that mind to those around her.

On a walk in our neighborhood...

Visiting with Mama Lucie, one of Lois's favorite people...maybe in part because she always gives Lois as many bananas as Lois wants?

and getting ready to enjoy that cake with friends!
