2 Years Old!

Earlier this week Bear turned two years old!  It's hard to believe that it's been two years since this incredible little guy entered our lives.  He was born in Indiana and I clearly remember how exciting it was while we were waiting in the town until he was born.  He came about a week later than we had expected, but we were very grateful for the delay because it gave us the chance to get to know his wonderful birth parents.

As a part of his birthday, Amy created a great book that we had printed and delivered to us.  It's his story of how he came into our family.  If you'd like to take a look at it you can use this link:

Amy used the same format that she used for K-man's book.  If you'd like to see that one you can use this link:

For his birthday, Bear also got some fun cars and trucks (he LOVES cars and trucks), some awesome legos, a fun wagon and bubbles, and a great little mat with roads.  He really seems to be enjoying all of it, and K-man is loving the fact that his brother was having a birthday.  We had some friends over on Friday night to help us celebrate and Bear really had a blast.  It was so much fun to be able to celebrate with him and below I'll include some photos from the celebrations.

We are so very blessed to have this little angel in our lives.  We love him so much and we are grateful every day for him and his birthparents.

Sleeping with the truck K-Man picked out especially for him... he won't go to bed without it.

Had to include a picture of him in his birthday crown!

To wrap up, here's one last picture.  Since he is now two years old, we decided it was high time he started pitching in a little bit more here at home.  His new chore?  Mowing the lawn:

Happy birthday, Bear!  We love you.
