Put another candle on your birthday cake...

And when you do a wish you'll make! Put another candle on your birthday cake, you're another year older today!

That's a favorite jingle of mine that my 7th grade science teacher taught us at good old Sutton Middle School. Thanks, Mrs. Young. This is what Harrison looked like when I sang this to him last year!
But, things have changed, and so has he! Here's a few pictures from our shindig at the playground!
The Birthday Boy got a little wet from running through the Splash Fountain!
sidenote: Do you see the swingset in the distance? That's the crime scene where my stroller got nabbed!

My Dad surprised us! On Friday afternoon he called as soon as I had put Harrison down for his nap and he asked me where I was. That's weird. I told him I was out back on our patio trying to get some sun while the little man was sleeping. He said, "okay, I see you!" and drove right into our driveway. I was so happy. I hadn't seen the old man since Christmas, and seeing as we won't get to see each other for 2 years come August, I will take all the family visits I can get! Isn't he so cute?
We laughed a lot...
and made weird faces...
and laughed some more, and ate lots of cupcakes, and he had no idea it was all for him. It was such a simple and glorious time.
And I am so grateful for my 2 year old boy. The second year flew by waaaay faster than the first, and I am having so much fun. The days are long, but the moments are sweet, and I can't wait to see what year 3 will bring. Happy Birthday, Harrison Bear. Your life has given us joy we have never known until you!
