The Joys of Having a 2 Year Old










Here are some pics of our son- up to no good! There's one of the floor after he thought it would be a good idea to "pour" himself a bowl of popcorn. I told him to put the big bag of popcorn away, but instead he tried to pour some into his bowl, then give some to the dogs. The dogs coudn't eat it fast enough- he was caught! He wasn't too happy when I put him in time out! I was especially happy when I tried to vacuum up the popcorn, and it was plugged with Christmas tree needles! There's also a pic of him standing on our great, patient dog, Bella- both dogs are so great with his torture!

MATT"S HOME!!!

www.jessicafaithphotography.com/Slideshows/welcomehomematt


It was a huge blizzard when we picked Matt up on Dec 21- everything was closed, and the roads were really bad! Even though that was the case, I was getting to the arena to pick him up, there was no doubt in my mind! His whole family and my parents and sister were there to welcome him home to freezing cold MI! We had to drive really slow on the slick roads, and Matt's brother got rear-ended on the way there, but we made it!

We had to wait a while b/c we got there nice and early to be right by the steps so we could get right down and see him. After the ceremony, I pushed a lady out of the way to be the 1st one down, and I was! Matt was standing right by us and I got to hold him again after 12 long months! I put Crue in his arms, and he knew it was daddy right away! After the rest of the family came down to hug Matt, I tried to take Crue back, but he wouldn't go away from daddy! It was so precious!

My sister-in-law, Jess, took some amazing pictures and I'm so glad we'll have these memories for the rest of our lives! Thanks to everyone who has prayed for and helped Crue and I out while Matt was gone- I don't know what I would have done without all of you guys! We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family- and so blessed to have Matt home safe and sound! We love you all!!!
