Josh's 2nd Birthday

Here he is... our son, now a 2 year old. He's still the same- loving, caring, strong willed, tough, and so much fun! On Valentine's Day we got to celebrate his special day in a farm themed birthday party.

Here's Farmer Joshie and his friends:

Rachel getting some attention.

Eating yummy food.

Getting ready to open some presents.

Time for cake? Josh had a chocolate chip cupcake iced as a little chick.

He had some creative ways of eating it!

Then he decided to hide it in this pan.

Hmm... this sticky stuff is pretty good too.

Fun times with the balloons!

Saying BYE-BYE

Whee! What a great party!

A Trip to TN

It's been almost a month now, but over the Martin Luther King holiday we went to visit Dad and Erika in TN. We had a fabulous weekend away and got to see some snow on the last day there. What fun!

A bundle of JOY

Staying warm inside

Checking out the snow

A new milestone!

Rachel crawled today! This past week we thought we caught her moving her knee forward and crawling but weren't convinced. Today though, I was. She not crawling that much, but has gotten two forward knee movements down. Before we know it she will be everywhere.

Last week she had another milestone too. She went from laying down to sitting up. So now when I go get her after nap time or in the mornings, she greets me sitting up in her crib with a big smile on. I love it!

Here are some photos from a few weeks ago at the park. This was Rachel's first time on a swing. You can tell they both enjoyed it!
