Mark, Stephanie, Addison: She Turned Two

A MOTHER'S PRAYER

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day,
With little time to stop and pray,
For life's been anything but calm
Since You called me to be a mom--
Running errands, matching socks,
Building dreams with wooden blocks,
Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose,
Fitting lids on bottled bugs,
Wiping tears and giving hugs,
A stack of last week's mail to read--
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,
Just at the sink or ironing board,
To ask the blessings of Your grace,
I see then, in my small one's face,
That you have blessed me all the while --
And I stoop to kiss thatprecious smile.

She Turned Two - October 3, 2008

After a few days, LOL, here are some birthday pics. We had a small get together here at the house. Our closest family and friends came and my oldest sister Sam made her sweet cake. Addy loved it and so did everyone else. We also enjoyed Papa John's pizza and then Sara and Alan let us borrow their jumpy house. Thanks guys for everything. I love you all and it was another great birthday for her. We didn't take too many pictures because we were enjoying our time with everyone, but here you go.

She is waiting on her guest to arrive:
