Brother and Sister

We are starting to see the sweet bond between John and Elizabeth...they love keeping each other in their sight, and John will often give Elizabeth a toy. He loves giving her kisses too, to which she responds to with her sweet giggles. We look forward to watching them grow together as brother and sister!

Shrove Tuesday

Last Tuesday we celebrated Mardi Gras at the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper at church. It was also a fundraiser for the youth's summer mission trip; youth were "auctioned" off for odd jobs such as yard work or babysitting! John was so young last year during this time, but greatly enjoyed his pancakes and french toast at this year's celebration! Lauren made him a Mardi Gras mask, but we couldn't get him to wear it. Elizabeth enjoyed being there, as always.

Our church had a beautiful Ash Wednesday service the following evening. It's hard to believe this time of year is already here!

Sweet Girls

Last weekend John had fun at two sweet girls' birthday parties-Meg Wise and Francis Watkins. He was non-stop at both parties; Jason was busy helping with Elizabeth during Meg's party, and John and I were solo at Francis', so unfortunately I didn't catch any photos at either one. He did have a short toddler meltdown before sweet Francis blew out her candles because he wanted to swim in the lake at Ballard Park. Despite that, both parties were precious for two precious girls! (Makes me excited about our pink party coming up in September! :)

TOES!!!

The Jumper

Elizabeth has been loving the jumper lately, especially when John shows her all of the fun stuff it can do!
