Graeme has "chugged" into year two!

My sweet boy is two years old already! He is such a big boy all of the sudden, especially with little Jane around now. He continues to come up with some of the funniest things Andrew and I have ever heard, and he laughs and smiles ALL the time. Some how he got wind of the fact that two year olds are supposed to be moody and oppositional, so recently he has had his share of "moments." Other than that, he is a very happy and sweet child. My incredible sadness over Kenan is tempered many days by the thought of never knowing our Graeme. Obviously there would not have been a Graeme if Kenan had lived. We love you so much Graeme, aka G-man, Buddy, Buddy Graeme!


He LOVES trains, so we decided to make a train themed cake. There are quite a few cute train cake ideas out there, but I already had a round cake pan and thought this would be easier. And, if Graeme ever saw pictures of Zion's 3rd birthday party, he would totally feel jipped with any "train" cake that I could have done compared to Lydia's that year. ha It was amazing!


Mikayla meeting Jane for the first time

Waiting for the party to start

So sweet!

Caitlin meeting Jane for the first time. She surprised by coming home for Graeme's party and to meet Jane. Thanks Caitlin!!! We were so glad to see you!

The "little" boys!

We attempted a "train" ride down the road with all of our various riding toys.

Jack bailed! ha

Zion and Ceilidh shared the "caboose" role!

I know our neighbors were thinking, "What kind of strange family moved in next door!?" ha We literally had 23 adults and children meandering down our street with cameras and riding toys! ha That is just grandparents and siblings!

Sorry Cait, couldn't resist posting! wink

A great sibling shot.


Family photo (minus Jane who was inside avoiding the cool air) attempt #1

Family photo attempt #6 or so.... I spared you all the other attempts! Graeme was NOT going to look at the camera, much less smile. We gave up. ha


Everyone has been really great to make sure Ceilidh and Graeme have felt loved and special during this time of transition. Lauren and Randy brought a "big sister" book for Ceilidh. You know Ceilidh, it had to be read the second she opened it! ha
