birthday boy!

happy birthday my sweet trace carter!

i can not believe my baby boy is 2.

well first of all, thanks to everyone for the prayers the past few weeks for us. i am FINALLY well, THANK GOD!!!! i have felt so good the past few days. i am so glad to be well again, but at the same time, it makes me sad for the weeks i've been sick and the times i've missed with my boys. but we will not dwell on the past. again, i feel great and i could not be happier.

so back to trace's birthday... i think he had a great birthday weekend!! we had his party at chick-fil-a on saturday with a few family and friends. i was super stressed about planning his party the past few weeks and with me having been so sick, so we had it at chick-fil-a! it went great and i have to say i managed to keep it all together :) but truth is, it's hard being the birthday boy's mom! i was pulled in a million directions but tried to keep smiling. ha. trace had a blast, loved his cars cake that that he has been talking about for weeks, and got tons of great presents. we had birthday pancakes on sunday and let trace blow out his candles again. he has sung happy birthday to himself so many times this weekend, it's so cute! here are some pics from the party and a few from the past few weeks. they posted backwards for some reason but oh well... i'm too tired to try and fix them. i love my trace car, he is so special to us.

"thank you god for the blessing you have given us with our first son. his laughter and joy are contageous and his sweet spirit is like no other. i can not imagine life without him and we thank you father for trusting us to raise him. please help us be godly parents and we pray trace comes to know you at an early age and you watch over him and use him for your glory!"
