Happy 2nd Birthday, Pierce!

Pierce turned 2 on 1 May! I can't believe how the time has flown by and that our little baby is now a curious, adventurous, kind-hearted and sweet boy. From the first time I laid eyes on you, Pierce, & held you in my arms, you have held my heart. I never knew love like this until you became part of our family. We love you so very much and are so thankful God chose us to be your parents. We couldn't be more proud of you or love you any more than we already do. You're all we ever dreamed of and so much more. Happy birthday, sweet boy~

In keeping with tradition, I'm stealing my friend, Kerry's idea and posting some pics from when Pierce was first born (and we held him for the first time) and his first birthday. I love looking back and reminiscing about those times. I can recall those days just like they were yesterday. I pray that never changes...

And, here's a big 2nd birthday wish to all of Pierce's friends who have birthdays in the month of May. We love & miss you guys!!

The bouncy house in the backyard

This picture cracks me up...the birthday boy waiting for someone...anyone to feed him lunch. Look how nicely he's sitting like the other kids...anyone??!

Here's one side of the room

And, the other side

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Pierce. He thought it was great!!

The birthday hat with a gangsta lean...don't ask. I have no idea.

Talking to Uncle Clev & opening gifts...multi-tasking at its best!

Everyone checkin' out the bouncy house.

Brandon read that you should have a whistle in case anyone disobeys the rules. Yes, he bought one and yes, he wore it. I love this guy!!

Before church on Sunday morning...& in case you forgot, he's letting you know, he's 2!
