Late 2 Year Birthday Post

Big News first... we just got our first set of blinds (double cell insulated) for the house! So, those of you that have stayed with us and either had to pin up a sheet over the windows or changed in the bathroom - no longer! Now, both guest rooms have wonderful coverings.

Soren turned 2 an entire month ago now, but here are some pictures that we finally downloaded from the camera!

We celebrated the big day by inviting some of Soren's friends and their parents, as well as some of Soren's parents friends (OK, so it was an excuse for us to have some people over!) for cupcakes and goodies the evening of his birthday. It was all very casual and I think Soren enjoyed the party. He didn't quite know what to think about all of us standing around him singing though... he wasn't too sure if he liked that. He got to stay up late though which is always a treat for him!

Here are the cupcakes from his party: (yeah, that's about as creative as I get! Poor kid!)
















And, here he is after we've sung Happy Birthday and he's about to blow out his candles:





















This one is of he and myself. I was trying to get a good shot of the shirt that he wore to the party that said "I'm 2 Years Old Today! August 25, 2006. And I'm going to be a BIG BROTHER soon." It was the way we announced the pregnancy to our friends.




















And, here are a couple more pictures of him at his 2 year picture fiasco:





















By the way... the book I'm reading: "Shepherding A Child's Heart" is an Excellent book and I would highly recommend it if you are a parent intent on teaching Christian values to your child(ren).
