Molly, Molly, how much do we love thee? let me count the ways


From her first birthday two years ago to the one we celebrate today, this little girl has been the icing on our cake whenever we see her. For Pretty and me, she is the gift that keeps on giving.

when you’re three years old, you can use your hands

big sister Ella and Mama Caroline help with gifts as Daddy keeps watch

Molly consoles her best friend who wondered why none of the gifts were hers

what could possibly be better for a party than the 2024 bounce house?

Molly, Molly, how much do Nana and Naynay love thee? Let me count the ways – too many to count. You are priceless.

      June, it was really pitiful…her mother finally had to take her home before we finished! I am sometimes in awe of what children get for birthdays these days – not like one doll and a bag of jacks anymore…

      Thanks so much, Annie! That was my favorite, too. Molly loves that little girl plus both Ella and Molly have tons of spunk (who’s surprised?) mixed with a generous helping of kindness. But how is she three years old? No clue.
