Joseph turns 2....A year for the record books!

Joseph is 2!!! I am not even sure how to comprehend that????  This past year has been AMAZING with Joseph.  From watching him grow physically to hearing him speak in sentences.  He has brought more life into this world than we could've ever imagined.  His love of the simple things in life is so humbling.  There is no sweeter sound than hearing him yell Momma or Daddy when he sees us or for just no reason :).  The spontaneous "I love you" also gets me every time.

I am sure every parent thinks this, but Joseph is just so special.  Our family has been through a lot this year and with my dad's recent diagnosis, and we are so blessed to have Joseph remind us to stay young and enjoy every moment.  The way he loves on everyone makes my heart melt!

This year has been so much fun with Joseph.  He has grown so much in personality and understanding.  He has his own interests, which include sports (doesn't matter what kind), puzzles, trucks, tractors, and anything that requires him to be outside.  He is still very personable and loves to play with new people.  Within the last couple months, he has become so much more aware of new surroundings and his favorite questions are "who is that?", "what are you doing?", and "what's the matter?"  We love that he shows care for others, but the "who is that?" question can sometimes cause some embarrassment when we forget someones name or it is just a random person in the store.

This past year has filled our hearts to a point where sometimes I wonder how much greater can our love for Joseph get.  There isn't a day that goes by that we are not amazed by what he does or says.  His love of music is very entertaining.  He loves to sing church songs before bed and has just recently started singing "Let it go, Let it go, Let it go, Let it go"...wait, are there other words to that song? :)

So, our journey with Joseph continues.  What an amazing journey it has been and we can not wait to see whats in store for us in year #3.  We continue to pray and try for more children, and things haven't been as easy as we had hoped they would be, but we are trying to enjoy each moment with JoJo and trust in God's plan.  We continue to ask for your prayers for our family that we may grow in faith and in numbers :)
