Conor is 2 Years Old!

Today our baby Conor is 2 years old! We can hardly believe its been 2 years since this little guy arrived and changed our lives forever. It seems like just yesterday we were designing his nursery and shopping for every baby item that we could possibly think of. How quickly time passes. That nursery no longer looks like a nursery...it is now a little boys room full of trucks, books, and red circles drawn on the carpet with markers (which we've yet to clean). Where did the bottles, pacifiers, and onesies go? Suddenly when we pack for a day out shopping all I need is a sippy cup and some snacks. You never imagine the words that will come out of your mouth once you are dealing with a toddler: "Get the cheddar bunnies out of Mr. Potato Head!" "Stop shoving blueberries down the drain!" "Don't lock the pugs in the closet!" I swore up and down that I would never allow my refrigerator to look the way that it does in the picture below...but now, I wouldn't take down those finger paintings for anything in the world. Sometimes we have to stop and just laugh at ourselves. Yes, life sure has changed since that day 2 years ago...but we couldn't ask for more. This little boy has brought so much life, love, and laughter into our world and we are so grateful for each day that we share with him.

Conor celebrated his 2nd birthday his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends out at Canyon Lake this past weekend...it was a blast! We're currently working a little slide show to share with all of you so please check back tomorrow for more!
