My Ricky

Ricky is my Hunny Bunny Wunny Cunny Sunny Dunny Lunny. That is my nickname for him. Kind of long, I know, but it just works. Rick and I have been married for 13 years (on Aug. 9th). He is a very talented artist. For his 8-5 job, he runs the art department at an apparel printing company. For his other job, freelance, he is a very creative graphic designer. He can do just about anything. He's a singer, songwriter, painter, and fabulous daddy. His girls just love him to death.
Aren't we too cute together?

Classic Ricky!

Miranda is definitely a "daddy's girl".

Isabella

Isabella (Bella is what we usually call her) is a goofy, beautiful, curly-haired two year old. I personally think that the curlier the hair, the zanier the personality. This girl keeps all of our household (whether is it just us, or a house full of guests) rolling with laughter. She is so funny. She loves to sing and dance. She likes to tell you how SHE thinks that YOU should be doing things.
She is definitely a "momma's girl" and I love that!!!

Bella and Aunt Susy call this her "grandma pose" because we have a picture of Rick's mom with her posing like this. Too Cute!

Bella Potter...she found her cousin's Harry Potter glasses and she wouldn't take them off.

Miranda

Miranda is our first daughter. She is 8 1/2 years old. She is absolutely beautiful and spunky. She makes us laugh. This little girl has a heart of gold, but can throw daggers at the same time. She is super sensitive and super protective about Bella. Bella can do no wrong as far as Miranda is concerned. When Miranda is cracking up laughing, it is usually because Bella is being goofy. Miranda is getting ready to start the third grade. She is a very intelligent young lady. We are amazed at her sometimes. She is a great reader.
There are two things that Miranda cannot do without at this stage in her life. They are her silky blanket and her thumb. Two habits that will be just about impossible for her to break. She will be the one that on her wedding night, she will pack her pink (probably gray by then) blanky.
I love this little lady. She is so much fun and so full of love. Even at 8, she is still a cuddly little baby in my eyes. She loves hugs and kisses and I love to give them. We are truly blessed.

The most beautiful smile in all the world.

Miranda and Bella are the best of sisters. Here they were watching "Happy Feet" on my bed. Sweet girls.
