Drew Turns Two

It is so hard to imagine that two years ago, to the hour, I was in labor. I remember the contractions hurting so much that I would think to myself, O.k. maybe two more and then the epidural should be here! Then a half hour would pass, and I'd think the same thing.
I wanted Tim to apply pressure to my head by putting his hands around my head and squeezing! He kept worrying that he would crush my head and I just told him, "he wishes"- "now squeeze".
What an amazing story. What a special story. I love my story of how my son came into this world.

And now he is turning two. What a great two years it has been. He has taught me so much about myself, as a person, as a mom, and as a wife. I know more of my weaknesses and strengths. He has given me so much joy, even in cleaning up messes and folding laundry. He is such a blessing.

So, we celebrated today with friends, food, cake and presents!

Here is Drew reading a card. He almost makes me believe he can actually read sometimes.

Here he is tasting the cake. Well, actually he is eating a pig cupcake. Not sure he likes the actual cake part but he did eat all the frosting.



I spent a good portion of Friday trying to make a cake special enough for my special boy...

Here is stage 1.



Stage 2.



Finished product.
