*Happy Birthday* Jonathan and Mary

10 Years ago we were blessed with 2 precious blessings within a year.

Not twins, but 363 days apart.


Jonathan gets the prize for being our biggest baby so far,

at 10 lb, 4 oz., beating Christiana by 4 oz..

He's proud of that award :)
(Getting a "normal" picture of Jonathan is a difficult task!!)
(See what I mean?)

Some of Jonathans favorite things are:

Building forts, treehouses, anything with wood.
Hiking through the swamp.
Working (OUTSIDE)
The days when he's off from school!!
Playing football

That's not exactly what we meant when we said "smile".How bout this smile?

It was alot of work, but we finally got a real smile.

(He was actually laughing, but it works.)



Jonathan, we love your sense of humor and the way

you're always there to help, even without being asked.

You're a blessing to your family and we love you, Jonathan!!!

---------------------------------------------

Mary gets the prize for being the smallest baby so far,

at 3 lbs, 4 oz. (3 months early).

She was like a little doll. (Still is, but bigger.)

Some of Mary's favorites:


Anything Outside!!

Riding horses (fast)

Fishing

Riding Bikes (fast)

Rollerblading (fast)

Running (fast)

Anything adventurous (What a shock!!)

Learning Piano from Granny.

Babies and baby animals.

Seeing the baby calves with daddy.

Loves spending time with Gabriel.

Mary loves any time she spends with Granny.

Mary, we love your adventurous spirit and the

way you enjoy life and God's wonderful Creation so much!!

Also, your tender heart.

You're such a blessing.

We love you so much, Mary.

Happy 10th and 11th Birthday to the Biggest and the Littlest!!!
