Annika is 2!

Annika was so excited for her party, she would sing "happy birthday" all the time in the days leading up to it.





At 2, Annika loves playing baby dolls. She likes to change their diaper all day long because they are "poopy" Either BIG poopy or baby poopy. ;) She likes to play silly games with her brother. They take babies on "walks" to the kitchen. She loves to play in the sink and wash dishes. She loves to put on lotion and asks every time we are in the bathroom. Patrick and her enjoy dancing and just being silly together.

track meet

The kids have gone to this all city track meet on Tuesdays. They hold them every Tuesday. They line up in age groups and then run in heats moving to longer and longer distances. Here are some fun pictures from our evening together. Of course the Carroll's were the ones getting us there (Brett is a track coach!)

Patrick has passed on his love of the hose, although thanks to him we now have a splitter for two hoses with two sprayers

Patrick turns 4

Sad week for us here. My Grandma passed away last week. I rushed home to be with my parents so it was an unexpected week away. It was a wonderful week with family though, so lots of blessings for sure! I have many more photos to sift through, but here are a few for now. Her tree bloomed the day of the funeral, so perfect!
her amazing red barn
