Happy Birthday Colin

Today my baby turns two (or dooo as Colin says) So hard to believe. Yesterday we celebrated his birthday with Aunt Mary (nana), Uncle Opie, Aunt Angela, Grandma, Grandpa, Rod, Debbie, AJ and Colin's mom and dad of course. We wrapped his presents while he was napping since some of them were big (a bike and a new lawnmower) and put them on the fireplace hearth since we didnt know where else to put them. Colin woke up, went downstairs, and I had forgotten about the presents by this time, but he squealed, jumped up and down and ran to open them. We told him he had to wait so he helped Brent make homemade spaghetti (Colin's favorite - pasta) It wasn't until I was in the dinning room putting up streamers, Brent was checking something on the computer and the family room was unguarded that Colin made his move. I heard paper ripping and Colin's YEA WOO HOOO that he does when he gets excited. He had opened one of his presents and it was so cute how excited he was that I grabbed the video camera to capture some of it. Colin had fun when everyone got here and ran around after AJ and entertained everyone. After dinner we opened presents only it was dark by this time and the poor boy was so excited about his bike and lawnmower that he got really upset when we wouldn't let him go outside to use them. He even opened up some rubber ducks and ran to the door to go put outside in his water table and was denied that one too! poor boy. AND then he opened up a soccer ball and was so excited he threw it - only for us to find out it was a ceramic bank. Super cute but not what Colin expected. But today he has been using all his toys and has had a great time.

But its amazing how fast two years can go. It seems like just yesterday he was born. Colin is such a blessing to us and brings us so much Joy. We have no idea what the future holds and know that in what will seem like a blink of an eye he will be all grown up. So for now we are trying to enjoy every day and every moment.
