He is 2!

Happy Birthday Patrick!

We love you so much. Everyday we are amazed at the little man God is transforming you into. We love how you love people and like to cuddle with them. It may take you awhile for you to warm-up to them, but once it happens you are so sweet. We love that you are learning how to smile into the camera, so far squinting isn't quite what we have in mind, but you will get the hang of it. You love to help Mommy with all kinds of tasks, I am grateful, but continue to be patient with me as I try to orient them to your 2 year old capabilities. Everyday you are more like your father, concentrating hard on one task and so full of joy. We hope you never give up your love of trains and Legos! We are grateful that you love books and will happily sit yourself in your chair and read. Hopefully soon you will remember to say please and thank you when you make requests. We are also grateful for your 20 min running sessions around your room when you have been inside all day. We are grateful that you are such a wonderful eater even if you don't like chicken. We pray for you daily that God will call you into His Kingdom and that you will be a man that desires to fear the Lord. We love you our little monkey!


Love Mommy and Daddy
PS. I will post b-day pics later!

I can't believe he is two already!!! Doesn't the time just fly bye?? So did you switch to celebrating on his birthday instead of his 1/2 birthday this year?
I'm jealous that Mike and Mary get to come visit this weekend! (Hopefully they will make it!) Have fun!

Oh, we are still celebrating his birthday with friends in June, just a quiet Mom and Dad affair in Dec. He went almost xmas week with opening presents everyday, by the end of the week he was waking up with, "where's my present?" so glad there was no formal party.
