A 2-Year Old!

Elias on his birthday!

Today I am the proud momma of a two year old! Elias turned two at 7:02 p.m….not that anyone actually noted the time as it occurred (we were at Nathan’s softball game). I think he had a very happy birthday indeed. We went to Cannon Beach to treat him for a fun birthday weekend. I’ll write more and include pictures of that at a later time. For now I just want to celebrate his birthday. Besides playing on the beach he got to open some presents from Mommy and Daddy, play all afternoon, and go to Daddy’s softball game where he saw Amma, Baba, Auntie and Uncle (and Auntie made him cupcakes!).

I took this picture this morning. We took Elias to see the tide pools at Haystack rock. On our walk back to the car, I had this shot perfectly framed, but before I could snap it, he started running toward me very quickly…and very happily! I was lucky to even get him in the frame at all.

I feel so blessed to be this little boy’s Momma. It hasn’t all been easy by any means, but I wouldn’t trade any of it.

Happy Birthday, Elias!
