Sweet Joy~

SJ has been home almost 2 years and the photos of her birthday right before we traveled broke my heart then but NOW that she's my Sweet Joy... they BREAK. MY. HEART!
She must have been scared to death~
 The bottom photos are from her 4th bd last year~ amazing!

Today I had the joy of shooting this precious one for her 5 year old photos~
Her smile and eyes get bigger and brighter each year~
(Not to mention her beautiful hair!)
 She had the hiccups the whole time and I kept asking her if she was trying to grow more right in front of my eyes... kept her smiling the whole time. :)
We couldn't love her more if we tried!
SO VERY thankful God blessed us with this amazing baby!

A JOYful heart is good medicine.
Proverbs 17:22
