Best TWO years EVER!

Some times the days feel long, but the years are so short! I simply can't believe that I am the mother of a two year old. There is not a single day that I don't thank God for giving me Henderson. He is such a precious gift. I thank God for allowing me to know the love a parent can have for a child. It is a feeling unlike any other and my heart just wants to burst when I look at my boys!

We had such a great weekend and I am going to start by saying that these two kids had a very large part in making Henderson's birthday such a great one...

The whole time they were here, Henderson was in absolute heaven. Stephen and I talked about how we think he might have had more fun this past weekend than he ever has in all of his two years. Henderson boo-hooed when they left on Sunday (and I'll have to admit that I did too!)

My mom, Jenna, Jack and Mary Beth got here on Thursday. Friday was Henderson's actual birthday and that is when my dad and Carter arrived too. We certainly missed Frank, but totally understand that he couldn't make it.

Saturday, we had a family cook out and did a little swimming over at Honey and Grandpa's house. Poor Aunt Julee was sick with strep throat (hope you're feeling better Juju!) Since two of Henderson's favorite things are buses and Elmo, I combined the two to have a Elmo/bus theme going on.

Please check out the adorable bus shirt that Aunt Katrina made for Henderson. He absolutely LOVES it and talks about it nonstop. (He also got a train table from my parents which has provided many hours of entertainment. I can already picture him trying to keep David away from it.) He also got a shopping cart from Honey and Grandpa. It is so stinking cute. Honey had it all fixed up with all sorts of things in the basket. She even had a six pack of juice boxes on the bottom. He will NOT let me move the juice boxes to the fridge. They must stay on the cart. So funny! My dad took a lot of pictures and I told him to make them "public" on his Picasa. So if you want to see any of the pics then click on the link on the sidebar. Please ignore any pictures of Mommy... post swimming with wet hair.

I had to throw in a picture from the birth. Look at that angel!

Henderson is such an amazing little boy and we have LOVED every minute of watching him grow. We can't wait to see what the coming year will bring. Now watch us try and make it through the "terrible twos".... stay tuned!
