On Saturday Obie turned two and we celebrated with a small party and some yummy food. As a kid I remember my mom always making some amazing cakes for my birthday and so I was motivated by these memories to try something fun for Obie.
The kids had fun running around and playing with balloons.
The menu was: fried chicken (from KFC) homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, cabbage salad and pineapple. Erin and Trey managed the kids while the rest of the adults enjoyed dinner.
This handsome boy sure did enjoy the day but the cake might have been his favorite part.
Hamlet and Zion.
These people love us well. The Lord has used them in so many ways to remind us of his love and care for us. We are blessed by them and were so glad that we could celebrate Obadiah together before we leave.
These days Obadiah loves to talk about the trucks he sees on the road or the birds that he sees outside. Anytime he hears an airplane he tries to make the ASL sign for airplane. His favorite books are Amazing Airplanes, Tremendous Tractors and The Jesus Story Book Bible. Obie loves to give Ella kisses and wants to help change her diapers, unless he sees some poop then he gags and has to walk away. I am amazed at his vocabulary and my favorite word he says is "good morning!" which sounds more like "morg-in." When Ella and I come down the stairs most mornings he says: "Morg-in mama, morg-in Ella!" Obie is Kyle's little shadow and adores doing projects or tasks with him.
We love to see this little boy grow and thank the Lord for him everyday.
Ella will be four weeks old on Monday and this is our first picture with all four of us! Gosh the problems of the second child are real, there is too much to do than to get pictures of every little thing the second time around.
