Andrew's 2nd Birthday

On August 13 Andrew turned 2!!! This year he loved all of the hipe about his birthday.
He enjoyed taking his picture. We took it within 2 min. so that probably helped:)
He loved seeing Papaw, Kathy, Uncle Matt, Jo, Gabby, and of course Papa, Nana, and Tia!
As you see, he enjoyed icing his cake that Jo had made him. She let him dig in to the icing during the process of making the cake look pretty:)
Andrew enjoys helping in the kitchen, especially if it is something sweet!
As part of his friends party, we went to the Fire Station to look at the fire truck. We made cookies as a thank you for the firemen. They were very glad to receive them. And we enjoyed making and eating some ourselves.
We got Andrew a Fire Truck book that is just like a Digger book he already has. His birthday themes were Diggers and Fire Trucks. He liked them both so we chose to use them both. He has loved reading his new book:) And he has enjoyed all the other exiting gifts that he received!

Our family went on our first mission trip together at the end of July. We went to Clarkston, GA which is not far from our home. There we met many people from all around the world who have been relocated to Clarkston from refugee camps. We were able to share Christ with many lost people and had the privilege of seeing a young girl come to know Christ! As you see, Andrew fit right in with the kids:) What a joy this was for our family!
The first week of August, Andrew got to go to the Zoo for the first time. He enjoyed seeing all the animals. If you look closely you can see we got to be up close and personal with a tiger. Andrew loves making a tiger noise so obviously this was a highlight for him! But it was also a highlight for us and his papa, nana, and tia:)
