Rootin 2-tin....

We had a birthday on Sunday! Jace is now 2--we can't believe how fast time is going. I know every parent says that, but I feel like it's going faster with #2 than it did with #1!! I felt like we were able to enjoy every single step of Luke's first couple of years. But with Jace's, time is going faster. It must be because wehave two (as in, we can't really just focus on, soak up Jace as much as we would love to). I love, though, how our two brothers relate to each other--it is so special to see Jace laugh at Luke and do EVERYthing Luke does...

So, our little wild and funny man is 2. He really is such a gift; he's quiet, alittle busy--we have to go behind him cleaning up in his wake--he's really funny, and loves to run and play outside. We celebrated his birthday cowboy style kept things simple: Jace with 3 little cowgirl friends. It was so fun, and so unlike anything else we do in our house--CALM! We spent a couple hours at our favorite play place in town before the party; hence, the pictures of the boys in the ball pit and trampoline...

In other news, Johnny has left for the mountains today. We will miss him, but we're so excited for him to get to be out. It's nice to be out where our people are...

And the Lord has really been speaking to our hearts over the past couple of weeks. We are really so thankful for His touch, and a little overwhelmed at His blessing, but we would really love prayers, too, as we go forward (in baby steps) toward what He wants us to do...
