We had a fun time celebrating Jude turning two years old!

When Grammy was here over labor day weekend, we had a little celebration.

Jude was quite excited about his train set, and he’s pretty much been playing trains 98% of the time since Sunday!  The girls have been in on the fun too!

We kept it simple with cupcakes.  He liked the candles!

The kids came to visit us in the hospital, and it was precious seeing how excited they were to meet their new brother!
