Helena 2 year pictures

Here are several pictures from a mini photoshoot with Helena on her birthday.  We still aren't sure who she looks like, but probably more Gesch although the white hair makes it seem that way.  Time will tell.  We are enjoying less fits and more fun personality--thank the Lord.  Intense, stubborn personality, but also fun and goofy at times.  We love her, we love watching her grow and change and look forward to what her next year of life will bring to our family. 

awww its like she's sweet or something ;)  

Evie had to join in.  She was helping me get Helena to smile, it was pretty cute actually

break time to feed Clara and "put on a bow mom"

we had fun

this one below--may need to crop a bit and blow up, one of my favorite

Laughing at her sister

Helena Gwendolyn--2 years old!

Birthday girl!
That went super fast, in some ways we can't believe she is already 2, in others we feel like she has been 2 forever!  ;)

the Its' a Boy balloon was the only balloon they had that day--no special message in there.  On her actual birthday we had her open the gift from us--the twilight ladybug-it was a hit!  Clara will get hers on her 2nd birthday also, it is such a great gift--thanks Matt & Kita for Savannah's 5 years ago to start the tradition. :)

last night we had Mr. and Mrs. Berkhouse over to help us celebrate more and they all had a blast.  Lots of great toys for Helena, her sisters of course enjoying the new toys as well

Pre-Helena bday-and chore time

Chores--this is becoming semi-helpful... I could get used to this...

whaat is this baby doing?  Yes, she is starting to crawl.. backward yes, but crawl she is!  Not even 6 months--crazy baby.  

 this is a fun game--

We can fit at least one more kiddo on his back I think, right?

look at this grown up young lady!  This is her pajama day outfit.  Even had a braid like Elsa :)

and this is Evie's attire on many of our days--the sunglasses are a must almost every time we leave the house, necklace and socks a bonus this day

planned to make cupcakes for friends to bring to a park, decided on a much less messy snack after this happened while being unsupervised for 2 seconds
