Two is such a fun age. Kyle pointed out that with every new stage I have declared that the particular stage we were in was my favorite...Kylee is two and I have to say this is my favorite! I love listening to her articulate all that is going on in her mind. I marvel at her ability to express herself now and the incredible range of emotions that she is capable of. The other day Kylee and Jude were in the bath tub and Jude was on his tummy and Kylee noticed his male anatomy and asked me, "What's that tail Mommy?" Oh my sweet girl. She keeps me laughing! As a matter of fact that one will keep me laughing for a long time to come! What joy to be a mother of a two year old!

Grins and Giggles

Jude is off and running...or well more accurately he is off and crawling! He is growing so quickly. It is amazing watching his little personality develop. He is my little snuggler who really likes to be entertained. As you can see from this awesome picture taken by our good friend Geoff he has beautiful blue eyes that are so full of life. He and Kylee are playing together more and more. They wrestle, they giggle...they wrestle. I love watching them together. What a blessing it is to have them so close in age. It is even better than I imagined!

Sleeping Beauty

I had to post this picture! We had returned from Cannon Beach and my darling daughter insisted that she did not need a nap. Hmmmm well this picture is proof that Mama knows best. We were actually talking to her just minutes before this picture was taken. One minute she was her normal chatty little self and the next she was face down on her plate with peanut butter and jam up her nose!

The Finished Product

I don't mind telling you all that Kyle is AMAZING!
A shed, a patio, and some steps off our back porch...I would say it has been a productive summer. Now I have a little less than a year to dream up his projects for next summer. I am sure he can hardly wait! It has been an awesome summer.
