Because he gets it:

Hope always wants to look good. All.the.time!

And he did what he could to make her feel prettier. After he finished "curling" Hope's hair, she was squealing with excitement, running around the house showing everyone how pretty her hair looked. What a sweet pair these two are!


I love to watch them play together! They really "get" each other. She loves to play trains, cars, legos, dig in the dirt, collect bugs, chase lizards, and make "poison ivy fruit salad", "road hot dogs", and "amazing grace brownies" out of sand with Andrew. In turn, he colors/paints/draws with her, plays dress up, plays "rubber people", makes play dough creations, and plays "mommy and daddy" with her (a lot!). The two of them get along so beautifully well. What sweet playmates! What a blessing they are to our family!!
