Terrific Two's

Ramsey turned two on January 12! Like every day since we knew he was a survivor, we spent it feeling blessed and extremely thankful for both of our boys. Reed also had a birthday; he turned 5 on December 16. We celebrated their birthdays together this year, with a New Year's Day/Birthday Celebration.

A giant balloon "ball drop" was filled with candy surprises.

Grandparents (and Aunt Veta) having fun in their glasses LOL!

At a recent gathering (following my dear Aunt Doris's funeral), the boys had the chance to play a little basketball and to run to their hearts content. Surprisingly, all of that activity had little effect on Ramsey's breathing. Take that CDH and Asthma! To me, this picture taken that day says it all...there's nothing stopping our little guy! He's got high hopes...

He even got to meet his CDH supercousin, Tyler. Finally, the family hero's met!

Ramsey loves trying on everything in site. We're talking shoes, hats, gloves, headphones, safety goggle, and yes, even toy kitchen tongs.

We love our two terrific boys!

 

A Birthday Visitor

This weekend we're having a party for Ramsey so we kept Ramsey's birthday pretty low-key.  As much as I wanted to invite everyone and anyone, we decided a party at home with family and a few friends was the best option. Tonight, however, Ramsey had a visit from someone special- ELMO! Thanks Gina, I mean...ELMO, for the surprise visit.

Special props to Reed for letting go of his fear of costumed characters! After all, he was right when he said, "I am are 4 so why should I be afraid of Elmo?"
