Happy Birthday Mercy!

My little girl is 2! I can't believe how fast these last two years have gone.

Here she is as a newborn.
And here she is today. These two years have been filled with so much fun, laughter, learning, and growth. Mercy looks like she is 3 particularly in height, so sometimes it seems strange to me that she is only 2. I am so thankful to have a daughter! She is full of life, so vibrant. She talks almost constantly, is curious about EVERYTHING, and loves to snuggle. I can't wait to watch what happens in her little heart and life over this next year! Thank you, Lord, for Mercy Lynn!

We had a wonderful little birthday party at our house. We had about 15 kids here all between ages newborn and 6 years old. They all had a blast! God gave us a beautiful day to be outside and the kids played and played until they were completely worn out. Here are a few pictures from the party.

rebekah- your family is so beautiful!! and mercy's birthday party looks like it was a blast!
thanks for your advice about what to do with our climber. she went to time out several times for climbing in a swing (i thought she was going to break her neck) and my mind was too foggy to make the connection that taking knives out falls under the same "life endangering" category.
how do you manage to still be on top of your game after having 3 small children?!?! :-)
