Birthday celebration!

We had fun celebrating Peter's birthday at our new house! :o)
It's hard to believe our little boy is already two!
He had fun opening presents . . .

But bopping the balloon with his new hammer was probably his favorite activity of the evening! :o)

The new tool set was definitely a hit! :o) (No pun intended!) Now he has his very own "big boy" tools to use when he's helping Daddy.

I feel a little better when I remember that it is still just two candles . . . he's not a baby anymore, but he still has lots of growing to do!

We were so glad to be able share Peter's birthday with our family who was here to help with the house--both Grandpas, Grandma H., and Uncle Bryan!

Many thanks to Grandma for taking all the pictures! This one is from later in the week because we managed not to get any pictures of her at the party!
We were also very glad to have the A'rs and Mr. Dan and Mrs. Debbie here!
The A'rs left for their new ministry in Colorado this Sunday, so we were very glad to be able to spend some time with them before they left! Hannah is already missing her friend Josiah!

Peter was probably more glad to play with Josiah's truck than Josiah, but that's okay, too! :o)

And as one of the last activities of the evening, Daddy, Uncle Bryan, and Mr. Dan hung a new rope swing! :o)

Dizzy Hannah!

Lots more fun times ahead! :o)

He'll never lose his love for those tools -- they'll just get bigger and fancier!!!

As for the dizzy-Hannah picture, I've seen you make that same face before! :) Although she definitely looks like a Martens girl, that was the first picture that I've seen that made me think "wow - that's Jenny!"
