Happy 2nd Birthday Sasha!!! (VERY pic heavy!)

Well, my baby boy is growing up. Two years ago, on Nov 9th, I gave birth to a beautiful 9lb 8oz baby, Sasha Rayne Laurette.  He is the love of my life... well his daddy too! ;) I can't believe it's been 2 years, and at the same time, it seems like I've always had him. Motherhood is the most beautiful, amazing thing in the world. I am proud and honored to be Sasha's mommy. (This post was supposed to go up on the 9th, but it took me so long to get done, it's late. Sasha was 2 weeks late too, so hey.) ha
*****Here's our last 2 years in pictures... (this post may be more for me than anyone else... ha) Reminiscing while looking through all these old pics makes me smile.)

Sasha and Gage at Snow day 2010... we live in Florida, so it doesn't really snow here. A church group gets together annually, and has a snow machine downtown so the kids can play in the "snow" It's really more like a big lump of ice, since the sun quickly melts it together, but hey... still fun. :)
