Puzzle fundraiser!!!

As you may notice a "donate" button has been added to our blog. This button is for any donation you may feel compelled to give as well as our puzzle piece fundraiser. We will be selling puzzle pieces for $5 each. Each piece sold will be sent directly to you to autograph. Then simply send the pieces back to us and we will frame the entire puzzle and hang it in our son's room when all is finished!

Turning 2

Well it has been almost a week since you turned 2 and I am still getting used to the idea of having another toddler around the house. Don't get me wrong it feels like you've been a glorified toddler for some time, but now you actually are. I just have one thing to ask "please, please don't let the terrible two's be worse than the 1's!!!!" I love you more than life itself baby girl, but I just might lose it if this year is worse than the last lol Anyways, enough about my feelings...I hope you're first mother knows how thankful we are to have had this birthday and many more with you. We are truly blessed by you both. We love you always and forever- Mommy and Daddy
(The morning of your 2nd birthday and opening your gift from mommy and Daddy)

birthday eve!!

Tomorrow my "baby" turns 2. I cannot believe how much time has flown. I wish it would slow down, but at the same time I'm so happy to watch her grow. Today, I cannot stop thinking about her first mother. Is she thinking of her today and everyday? Is she worried about her? If she is I hope she knows how much she is loved and that everyday we have with her we see as a miracle. We will never let A.J. forget where she came from and who she came from. I hope A.J. and her first mother know that we are always thinking of them both. They are our angels and we thank God for them everyday. Happy Birthday Eve baby girl!
