Sam is Two!

We're still kind of in a state of shock, but Sam has just turned two. We've really enjoyed his first two years - most of which have been spent on St. Simons. (When we moved here, he was three months old! It's hard to believe that Elliot is already older now than Sam was when we arrived.)

We had a nice, relaxed day for his birthday, with some friends coming over for some dirt cake in the evening. Everyone got a kick out of Jess' creative use of a truck for the dirt cake. (We just had to keep Sam from dumping the cake out of the back of the truck!) Here are a few pictures of the birthday festivities.

We've made it to the other side of Easter, and so it's time to give you a quick update on how things have been going (at least in pictures). We had a busy but wonderful Easter. It's a bit strange to celebrate Easter when it's such a big work day for a pastor. Troy was out the door by 6:00 a.m. to help lead a community sunrise service. That meant that he missed the kids getting their Easter baskets (sniff). Jess got all three kids to the church so that she could run the three nurseries she set up for today. Church was followed by an Easter egg hunt, so the kids had a blast grabbing as many eggs as they could. This could have been an awful day because of how much was going on, but - God be praised - it was really great. Enjoy the pictures.
