Birthday Parties

One of the joys of having kids is all the birthday parties you get invited to.  Our pastor’s daughter turned 2 this week and had the cutest ice cream party.  Our church is relatively young, so it’s so much fun being in a community where we’re all at basically the same stages in life.  At the moment we’re in the “having babies” stage, so it’s going to be so much fun to watch everyone grow up together (babies and parents alike).  It brings me so much joy to know that Bennett will grow up in a community having friends and people that he knows love him.  What a blessing of security that is for him and for us.

These two are close in age and will get into so much trouble together.  It seems like they’re always plotting something…

Of course, you can’t have a summer birthday in Arkansas without getting wet.

Thanks for inviting us to a super fun birthday party!

my 10 month valentine

Bennett turned 10 months old on the 12th.  I know, I’m late posting pictures, but I’m a working mother–give me a break!  Here are some pics from his photo session.  And by “photo session” I mean my husband and I corralling him into a small space and taking two million photos to get one decent one.  It was quite the adventure.

I’ll throw in a Valentine’s day photo just because it happens to be February 14th.  What a lovely coincidence!
