Birthday Fun!

Well, Meg is almost 3 years and two weeks old, so I’d better post some pictures from her birthday! Enjoy!

Oh, Megan, weren’t you just born?

I’m so thankful for the past three years! No (more) words.

Ornaments – Baby snowman

Isn’t this baby snowman – complete with pink pacifier – cute? It was made by a friend of ours in Seward as a gift for our new baby.
Three years ago today Megan joined our family. She loves to laugh, make others laugh, play with her sister, dote on her brother, cuddle in the early morning, [...]

Maybe it’s because she’s two.
Maybe it’s because she’s a ham.

Do I do that?

We’ve been hearing about God’s work in Exodus recently in church. I’ve been reading it at home, too, and read this from chapter 6:

“I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to [...]

Good thing.

Meg finished going on the “big potty” earlier today and looked down and said,
“There’s no poop on my shoes.”
“There’s no poop on my pants.”
“There’s no poop on my legs.”
Good thing, Meg. That’s the idea.

A birthday song and dance

Meg sang Happy Birthday to Daddy several times in a row. After each song she asked him to blow out pretend candles – so watch for that. Finally she added this dance to the show. I think he liked it.
