Happy Birthday, sweet Tegan!


This is coming way too late, but better late than never!

It's so hard for me to believe that my baby is now 2! I still remember begging our favorite pediatrician for a pill or a shot make my collicky 3 month old baby stop crying. Nothing like 3 hours of non-stop crying to push you to your limit. It was just last summer that we had him evaluated because he wasn't walking or even really talking. By the grace of God, he is perfectly normal and is definately making up for lost time. He is not happy unless he is chasing his brother or being chased!

He is now a content soul who adores his big brother and daddy. Coloring (usually in a book, but sometimes on his arm or the couch) and playing in the sandbox are some his favorite passtimes. But, Tegan is a child who becomes quickly overwhelmed by a large crowd so we decided to have a small gathering of our closest friends. Grandma and Aunt Jerri were in town to help us celebrate, too.

We cooked burgers and hot dogs on the grill while the kids played in the backyard. Tegan's squeals of delight affirmed our decision to have the small affair. After we ate dinner, we lit the candles on Tegan's Bob the Builder cake. He tried to blow out the candle with such determination, but Mommy still had to help! Soon came the favorite part, opening presents! The favorites were the monster truck and the noisy bobcat construction vehicle. All too soon, our friends had to leave and the boys had to scrub off in the bathtub.


All in all, it was a wonderful celebration of the joy this little boy has brought to us! We love you Teegs and are enjoying watching you grow up!
