Ryan's 2nd Birthday

Ryan turned 2 on July 6th. We celebrated with a Mickey Mouse cake and lots of family. Ryan is so much fun these days! He's talking more and more...putting words together, counting well, identifying shapes and colors everywhere he looks. He loves Mickey and Dora. He loves being outside, playing rough, running, driving his cars, pushing anything with buttons or fastening buckles and playing with his big sister. He is easy going and adapts well to change...hmmm probably since he's a second child. He recently started singing Amazing Grace and it is truly the sweetest sound! Happy Birthday, Ryan! God blessed our lives richly with you!!!

I cannot believe my baby girl is 4! What a precious big girl she is! She had a great birthday this year! She wanted a Cinderella cake and decorations with all the princesses on it. We "partied" here at the house and played at the playground after cake and gifts. It was so fun to see her excitement this year! God blessed us 4 years ago with this sweet girl and our lives will never be the same! Taylor, I love your creativeness, your excitement for life, your drama and silliness! I love hearing you sing, hearing you tell us and your brother how much you love us and listening to your prayers. I love you Taylor Faith!! You are a sweet, special girl!

Morning of her birthday...she wasn't so excited about a picture this early!
