I Needed This
I just watched this video and I can't stop crying. Sometimes life seems stressful and overwhelming and it's nice to have something like this to help put things in perspective and remind me how blessed I am.

Henry turns 2!
I cannot believe that my baby is 2! Where has the time gone? It really does seem like just the other day that we were bringing him home from the hospital and now he is so grown up and we are getting ready to start all over with another one! I am constantly amazed at how it is possible to love a child SO much. He brings so much joy to our lives and I feel so blessed to have such a sweet little boy.
On Henry's actual birthday, Joe had to work, so we went to Fairfax and met him for lunch. Henry was a little hesitant to let Joe hold him at first...I think seeing him in uniform may have been a little intimidating. But that quickly wore off and Henry was more than happy to "drive" Daddy's police car and ride on another officer's motorcycle. When Joe got home from work that night, we let Henry open his presents from my parents. He was VERY excited to open presents and loved them all. When he got one of them partially open, I asked him what was in it and he yelled "Clothes!" He's just like his daddy :)
Henry LOVES books...we read these all about 10 times within the first 24 hours of getting them
Modeling his new swimsuit...we might need to fatten him up a little before swimsuit season :) Wish I could say I had the same problem
Apparently his new tractor jammies make him run faster!
You can't turn 2 without having a birthday party, so we celebrated with family on Friday. Judy (Joe's mom) was here visiting, so Henry was lucky to have one of his grandmas here to celebrate with him. Henry also wanted Uncle John, Aunt Susan, Barbara (Susan's mom), and his cousin John to come to his party. We all went to Chuck E Cheese's and had pizza and let the boys play games. Then we came back to our house for presents and cake.

Pizza!
Joe doesn't look too pleased with this shot, but Henry was certainly impressed
Uncle John and cousin John joining in on the basketball fun
Henry loves anything where he gets to drive
Throwing footballs with Daddy
Party time with Uncle John, Aunt Susan, and John
Hmmm...what's in this one?
Henry's birthday cake...hopefully my skills will improve as I have more kids and they have more birthdays. I have big shoes to fill after all the great cakes my mom made for me and my siblings.
Mmmmmm! Cake and ice cream!
Riding on his truck from Mom and Dad and showing off for Barbara
Looking adorable in his toolbelt from Grandma Judy
Happy 2nd Birthday Henry!
