Graham's 2nd Birthday
It's been a rough week. Grieving the Sandy Hook shootings...Graham, Patrick, and I being sick...not getting enough sleep...my 2-year old choosing to push most every boundary I set...even Patrick being a little fussier than usual. We had plans to go to Williamsburg for the night on Friday to pick up a new used car, but that's not going to work out due to some complications. I am worn down and disappointed.
But on Saturday we enjoyed celebrating Graham's 2nd birthday! We kept it very small and casual. It was just family and pizza and a homemade cake and a few gifts.
Oh, little Graham! How have 2 years gone by already? I remember how we wanted you...prayed for you...and God heard our prayers! You came to us on a cold December night and it was snowing and perfect. You made me a mother, little boy. I love watching you grow and learn new words, seeing you kiss your brother and wrestle with your dad. Your favorite toy is still a ball (any kind will do...golfball, baseball, ping pong ball...) and you are awesome at basketball. You love reading Goodnight Moon and you love looking for the real moon and stars in the night sky. You love sticks and dogs and puddles. You're still not a big eater, but getting better. I adore how you fold your hands to pray and say, "amen!"
We pray that Graham truly, in a child-like way, grasps the gospel this year and learns of Jesus. We believe God's hand is upon him and we are excited to see God's work in his little life.
We love you, Graham!
