Wow.. How much life has changed....

Today is William's second birthday. Wow. Where has the time gone? I know that phrase is so cliche, but it's so true! This time two years ago I was laying in a hospital bed holding my newborn son; completely clueless about how much my life was going to change.

Before I had a baby it was nothing to say, run to the grocery store. Today it takes 1. courage 2. at least 45 minutes 3. Diaper bag packed with everything imaginable because the one item you forget (say extra outfit) is the one item you need (example; blowout) 4. LIST (you will IMMEDIATELY forget the reason you came to said store) 5. Logistical plan for the entire store to figure out how to get in and out as quickly as possible 6. The greatest amount of willpower EVER to avoid the lovely chocolate bars in the checkout lane...

I love my children though and would change nothing! Today for William's birthday I dropped Owen off at mom's and took him to meet daddy for lunch. He even got birthday ice cream! After Will's nap Grandma and I took the birthday boy to the bike trail to try out his brand new plasmacar *AWESOME*. We then decided to head to Baskin Robbins for EVEN MORE ICE CREAM! (Read "Happiest Boy Ever"). We timed our arrival perfectly with Daddy's and we were able to open his presents as a family before bed. Yaay birthdays! I am very excited for Nate's half day tomorrow so we can let William pick out his gifts from his Grandad and Great Mamaw, as well as his birthday party at Lion's Park. :)
