What's the difference?

Blogging/ Journaling... are they synonymous?
The other week Ryan and I were scrolling through our blog looking at back posts and I realized that despite my best intentions this is probably the best family journal/ record that we have got right now and so I am going to back post so that some day we can look back at this to get our stories straight.
Eventually I will catch up to the present but until then enjoy looking back with me...

Happy Birthday Noah!

Our little guy turned 2 this year.

Hard to believe that they go from this


to this


so fast?

We had a pretty low key day. Ryan took Noah to work for part of the morning as a special birthday treat. It was a treat for one of them...

We decided to celebrate big and go to Chuck E. Cheese's, always a hit with the kids. The boys loved it. Luke was determined to have a conversation with Chuck E. Cheese. I had to tear him away so not to monopolize the mouse's time. We did sneak in a quick picture.

Then home for cupcakes, ice cream, and candles.


The birthday boy


Laughing at his Dad trying to get him to smile.


I love the way you can see how he adores Ryan.


We celebrated a couple of days later with our friends. Pool and piƱata party. What could be better?


Maybe by three he will hold the bat right...


Happy Birthday Little Man! We love you and are grateful your sweet spirit came to join our home!
