Family, friends and foodThe kids had a blast at their second birthday party. Lots of good food and lots of awesome toys and books to keep them occupied for a long time.
Thank you to all who sent gifts from far away and who love these children. And to those family and friends far away, we sure missed you!
Great Grandma Schade wasn't able to make it to the party. She is in the hospital due to a possible stroke. Grandma Best was with her after they took her to the hospital. We thought of you the whole time Grandma Schade. We hope you are better soon. We also, of course, missed Grandma Best and Grandpa Best. He had to work.

Here comes trouble.
