A Birthday Weekend


Our little munchkin Ricky turned 2 this last weekend and we had a special birthday celebration for him on Monday. We had planned to take him out for a picnic in the park but due to crummy weather we ended up staying home. He seemed to enjoy himself none the less. Here are a few pics from our day.


Monkey cupcakes as requested by the birthday boy!

Playing Chutes & Ladders.
Occasionally the boys play well together! ;)

Ricky was tickled pink when we sang him "Happy Birthday" and let him blow out the candles.  It was a super sweet moment. I wish we would've captured it on camera but here's a shot that kind of captures his glee!


"Mmmm.... yummy!"

Sweet little Evie enjoyed the day to.
Granted she slept through darn near everything!

A Little Bit of Sweetness

This post is long overdue but better late than never, right?  We have been quite busy and preoccupied the last couple months and much has transpired that I cannot take the time to hash out right here and right now but I will fill you in on a very exciting and sweet happening that occurred in our family a few weeks ago. 

Our beautiful baby Evelyn was born on April 12th weighing in at 8lbs 5oz! She transitioned into this world very smoothly and was welcomed into our family with arms and hearts wide open. The boys adore her and love to help change diapers and hold her and she already has Papa wrapped around her little finger! We've tried hard to include the boys in things and make this transition as enjoyable as possible for them. To help them celebrate their new little sister we had a birthday party honoring her first week of life. The boys made birthday cards for her and helped me make brownies then we all sang "Happy Birthday" after dinner. They thought it was great! 

Our cups are full and we are so grateful to God for His abundant blessings and grace.



Little Miss Evelyn

This funny little girl hates pacifiers and does not like to be swaddled!

First bath at home... she did great!

Papa's Princess
"So you're my big brother!"

The boys were proud of the cards they made and thoroughly enjoyed eating the browny batter (see below).






A bit of fun outside

Can you tell they're brothers?
