was about a week after his birthday paw-ty. even though he didn't have a clue that it was his real birthday, we took the day to celebrate him. we started off the day with donuts...
yummmmmm, hot krispy kreme! jack loved watching the donuts being made.then mark came home and we celebrated with a long and fun lunch at chuck e. cheese... (gotta love 2 year old birthdays)
during jack's nap olivia and i made rainbow cupcakes. we wanted to have one more birthday surprise for him when he woke up. (they turned out really neat, so sad i didn't get a pic.) he loved them!!it was a great day. our little family had tons of fun celebrating jack.
being the mom, i found myself spending some time reflecting on the last 2 years. i thought about how i spent many days in bed and in the hospital waiting to meet my sweet baby jack. he was worth every moment!! i instantly fell in love with him. i thought about how i almost can't remember life without him in it. he is the perfect addition to our family. he brings smiles, laughter, and tons of energy to our home. i thought about the future, and the man i desire for him to become. i pray that he will love the lord with all his heart and do great things to bring God glory. i also thought about how i am grateful for today and the little moments that we shared doing ordinary things- playing chase around the house, having a little conversation over breakfast, hearing about all the toy story and cars characters, or snuggling after his afternoon nap. what a gift i have been given to be jack's mom. happy birthday jack-jack!! I LOVE YOU!!!
