Wow, another day of great numbers (see date above) and, more importantly, my baby's 2nd birthday. Just a mere two years ago, we welcomed a little girl into our hearts, our home, and our lives. What a very special day it was. Shelly lived for about the first 12 hours without an official name. We called her Brooke Lin (didn't like the whole thing together) for about 30 minutes. Then we opted for Karley Lin, but decided against that, as well. And, finally, out of nowhere, John said, "I like the name Shelly." And so it was! And, of course, Shelly is the perfect name for my little angel. Her name means "meadow on a ledge" (what in the world does that mean???), but to me the meaning of a name isn't nearly as important as the virtue of the person who owns the name. And Shelly is full of virtue.
Yesterday, we celebrated Shelly's birthday with a small gathering at our home. Today, we spent the day doing rather ordinary things with Shelly and Lily. We went to Steak 'N Shake, Target, and Kohl's.
So, here's to you my little 2 year-old. Have a wonderful day and sleep tight.
