My Baby J Turns Four! Part 2
The rest of the pics from Jonah’s birthday at home: Happy happy birthday my little son. Your existence may have caught us by surprise and you may be quite a handful at times, but we adore you and thank God for you.

As in, “that Lego set is boss.” Or, “this game on the Kindle is so boss.” And if a thing was particularly awesome/special/worthy of note? Beast. Those two words were thrown around quite liberally during Mikey’s birthday sleepover. Instead of making a big deal out of this milestone birthday, all he wanted was a small family celebration with ice cream cake on his actual birthday, and then a sleepover with three of his good buddies from church. Done and…
