Happy Halloween,

from Little Red Riding Hood.

2 years and 1 day

What a beautiful start.

-We nearly wore ourselves out with birthday extravaganzas yesterday. We started with misshapen blueberry pancakes for breakfast, played with play-dough (compliments of Angela and Pax), and had a quick dance party in the living room- all before 9 a.m.

We talked to JuJu on the phone, took a walk around the neighborhood with Grandpa, and had William from next door over for the morning while his mom ran some errands. Lance (Josh's intern at church and Edy's first major crush) came over for his weekly Wednesday lunch, Grandmommy treated us to an ice cream cone from Sonic, and then it was an early dinner of potpie- Edy's favorite- before church in the evening.

Needless to say, I am exhausted today.

2!

We celebrated our sweet E.J. turning two-whole-years-old at the park Saturday, and it's a wonder that I didn't cry through the whole thing. Pregnancy hormones aside, it's hard for me to fathom that two years have passed since she joined our family. I don't really understand why, but God has been incredibly good to us.
