This weekend we celebrated one of Ryder's best buddies with a john deere themed birthday party. Hank Thrash was born 10 days after Ryder and we are best friends with his parents. (Mark and Kit were room mates all through college and stood as best men in each other's weddings.) It was so fun to be pregnant at the same time with our boys and we have loved watching them grow together. We still can't believe that our little men are two years old!
Here are the boys when they first met back in April of 2010:
Then hanging out a few months later:
Here they are in October 2011:
And here they are at two years of age:
(I know, I probably didn't have to put all those pictures in, but each facial expression was just too good not to share...)
Ryder's face kills me!
We tried to get a family shot, but as you can tell in the background of this picture, Ryder was way to preoccupied with using his water gun on the other little party guests:
We could not love this little guy more. We are already praying that he and Ryder will have a close friendship that mirrors brotherhood and we look forward to living life with these dear friends!
Mark and Jamie~
We love you both so much! We appreciate the people that you are and how purposeful and intentional you are with both friendship and parenting. We respect and love you both and are so thankful to get the privilege of living life with you!
