Lucas Turns 2!

Lucas turned 2 on January 10th and I wanted to post some pictures of our special guy!

Here is Jake being super-dad and assembling the "showcase gift" while Lucas finished up his nap:

A motorcycle just the right size for our little guy:

We've been eying this motorcycle for several years now (I'm pretty sure we considered it for Daniel's 2nd birthday) and we finally took the plunge. I'm so glad we did because it's been a real hit. Virtually guaranteed to make a 2-year-old little boy very happy!





Unfortunately I spent a lot of time making his cake and frosting. It wore my pregnant self out and didn't even taste very good. Bummer!
(But I still thought this made for a very cute shot :)

Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing though since this is the only bite he had. Right after this I had to take him straight up to bed -- he had developed a mysterious fever throughout the course of the evening and was really struggling to stay awake at this point:

It was really weird because he woke up feeling fine the next morning. Weird but good since he was able to spend the whole day playing with his new toys, all of which he thoroughly enjoyed.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Lucas -- we are forever grateful you joined our family! Thank you for all the sunshine and joy you bring into our lives!
