Well Bubby. . Mommy had to work on your birthday. The good news is you probably wouldn’t have ever known if I didn’t just write it here in cyber space where it will remain forever The bad news is that I’ve never been one that really cared about celebrating on the “actual day” before. For example, Christmas isn’t December 25th to me. . . it’s just whenever our family gets together at that time of year. Yet, your 2nd birthday meant a lot to me and I really hated to be away! It helped that you and Daddy had so much fun going to Sonic and eating ice cream, picking out a cool toy at the Dollar Tree, and playing with your friends at VBS tonight.

You were such a surprise and blessing from above Colt David. You came 2 days before our 1 year anniversary and life has yet to be the same! Actually, my life hasn’t been the same since I was pregnant – not the easiest thing I’ve ever done, but the labor wasn’t that bad, so I guess you made up for it

Anyways, not a day goes by that we don’t thank the Father for you. We are so proud of you and you will never know (until you have your own kids one day) what JOY you bring to Daddy and Mommy! You are so smart and soak EVERYthing in. You are hilarious and such a happy little guy! You are sweet and generous with your lovins, but ALL BOY. If you could have 2 things and be happy, it would be a ball and some dirt. Of course, you have a stubborn side, but we are doing our best to train you to be a boy that loves and obeys the Father above everything else! We love to see you obey – and you usually do well. Your whole life has been special, but Daddy and I can’t help but talk about how these are the best and most fun days yet!!

Here are some pics of your life up to now. You have changed sooo much!

Waiting for you to enter the world. . . you are 1 week late
