My sweet Olli, How are you 2?! Where did this second year go?! You are changing and learning and doing SO much.  I can’t fathom that you aren’t my little baby anymore.  You were a surprise addition to our family, and we absolutely can’t imagine life without you.  I tell Daddy often how I’m so thankful for our “oops baby” 💙💙💙 Your smile and laugh are infectious.  Your sense of adventure scares me.  You delight in life and love us all so much.  And we love you right back.  Happy 2nd birthday, Oliver Flynn!  We think you’re just fantastic 💙 I love you bunches,  Mommy

We celebrated Jack's birthday (a week late) and Ella's birthday (11 days early) today with a few family members and friends.  It was hot and humid, and I want to give those who endured the heat with us big, big props (especially our family and friends who drove in from out of town to help us celebrate)!  The kids had so much fun, and they loved seeing everyone. They had a blast opening up their gifts.  The food was delicious, and with a little help from Auntie Faith and Nonny, the cookie cups turned out yummy :) It was a sweet summer party, and we're beat! :) The Husband and I are silently thanking the Good Lord for nap time, haha!
