victory day...

The Hopefuls...
Quick to celebrate...
ALL things.
Like...
Little superheroes learning to wipe themselves.

And little princesses...

Finally learning to trust...
Falling in love with the water...

We LOVE celebrating...
Especially victories that have been a long time coming.

Smalls are great seers and seizers of joy moments .

Pointing the way...

Teaching us to be thankful in even the tiniest stories.

Attentive to what our Papa is up to...

This little princess has been enamored with her new little friend since their eyes met.

His story marked with laughter... joy and blessing.

He wears his name well.

Celebrating our long awaited encounter...

A longing fulfilled in my heart... and in the hearts of my family.

VICTORY... 

His life... and our meeting.

Prince Bud...

Dreamer extraordinaire...

He closes out our victory day.

With his celebratory heart...

"I'm glad you're home, Daddy."

Togetherness... we have learned...

Is the sweetest victory this side of Heaven.

Always amazed at how much we can learn from little people...

The way they lead us towards paths of celebration...

Celebrating victories...

Want to keep being led.

So that tomorrow too... 

Can be another victory day.
