Seems like yesterday that I was spending some happy fall days with her family when she arrived .

She loves to make faces - as you can see!!

Looking forward to seeing her soon - in the meantime, here's to the happiest birthday ever!!

The Lovely Miss Ida Turns 2!!

Miss Ida last summer when we visited. She's a most charming young lady - and we are looking forward to visiting her and her family soon!

Looks like last year's Thanksgiving visit - always a fashionista too, with her charming plaid coat.

A bit younger here - but the smile is as big as life!!

A little pensive at times!

When it all began two years ago - what a difference two years can make!!

It was a happy day when Miss Ida joined us - so we are wishing her a Happy Day today!! And a great year ahead too!!
