We had family in town the weekend of Drake's birthday so instead of having a big party, we just had a few small celebrations. Drake's Uncle JT and Aunt Stacey were here Friday-Sunday and Pops, ZaZa and Uncle Cole were here Sunday-Tuesday. Drake was completely spoiled and had the best time.
Here are a few pics:
Drake,
I am sitting her completely in awe of the fact that you are 2 years old. It seems like we were just celebrating your first birthday and I was a mess because you were growing up so fast. How could a year have already passed?
At 2 years old, you are amazing. You can recite the entire alphabet and count to 15. You will do anything to get a laugh and are constantly trying to do something "funny". You love to run, and don't really walk anywhere anymore. You love cheese pizza and milk and would be happy if those were the only things that we ever gave to you (thanks to the 2 year old food strike :)).
I feel so blessed that I'm now able to stay home with you full time. I look forward to seeing your sweet smile every morning and our snuggle time on the couch.
You have no idea what you mean to your daddy and I. We love you so much and can't wait to continue to watch you grow.
Happy 2nd birthday little mister!
My family came into town for a little vacation in Grapevine so we met up with them where they were staying at Great Wolf Lodge. Drake was able to hang out with Matt (my cousin Kadi's little boy who is just a few months younger than Drake) and he was really excited to see him. I absolutely love seeing these two together!
We decided to keep Drake up late this year to take him to see some fireworks. He absolutely loved it!
Here a few pics...please ignore my face in the first one- I just really think his face is adorable!
Happy Father's day to all of the daddies out there!
David, you are better as a father than I could have ever imagined. Drake is so lucky to have you (and so am I). Love you!
As of July 9th, I will be leaving my current job to work part time from home and to stay home with Drake! This opportunity was something that David and I have prayed about for a long time and we were so happy when my fantastic friend Betsy gave me a referral to her company. I know that staying home with an almost 2 year old is definitely going to be more challenging than anything that I do at my current job, but I absolutely can't wait for this little guy to be my new boss :)
