Happy 2nd Birthday, Lucas!

It didn't seem too long ago when Lucas was still surfing along furniture, trying to gain confidence to take his first independent steps, and it sure didn't seem long ago when I was ecstatic with his first words.

Our little guy is now 2 years old. Time has just whizzed by so quickly I am already missing it. It may sound so cliche but being a parent just makes it all the more apparent that before we know it, we will all be gray-haired people buying candy canes for our Grandchildren.

Lucas is such a wonderful kid and Edwin and I constantly remind ourselves how blessed and lucky we are to have 2 beautiful boys. I know I will miss the days of now...
... when Lucas runs to me to kiss me good night every night before going to his bed
... when he sneezes and says "bless me"
... when he wakes me up with a kiss and a happy face and a loud "Good morning, Mommy!"
... when he combs his hair and tells me it's "nice"
... when he tries to help me do the laundry and the dishes
... when he tells me it is time to change Linus' diaper and proceeds to undress Linus
... when he is so thrilled the first time he sees the Christmas tree at home
... when he sings to himself in bed
... when he says goodbye to the oranges on the table when he is going out to the car
... when he lines his trains up and bids them good night before heading up to his bed
... when he answers me when I call out to Edwin with "yes dear?"
... when he looks for Grandma and Grandpa on the map and points to where Singapore is which is refers to as "a-pore"

My dear Lucas, we are so proud of you and we are delighted to watch you grow up to be a happy kid. Turning 2 is a magical time and we are looking forward to sharing more adventures and discoveries with you on your journey as a 2-year-old.

Love,
Mommy & Daddy
