Passing two years

We've passed the two year mark on two major fronts now ... birth and the two-year anniversary of Nathaniel's surgery. So it's a glorious day today.

His birthday was great: Oma, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Liz and her boyfriend Leo and, of course, Mom and Dad. Low key, but fun. The biggest thing he got was a tricycle (Huffy canopy trike ... he can't steer or anything until we take off the parental controls; until then, it's almost closer to a stroller). He really seemed to like the little bell on the handlebars. He's also a big fan of an Elmo book he got and a Richard Scarey (sp?) book. And he definitely liked the Elmo cupcakes we got instead of a whole cake ... he dug right in.

And last night, his surgery anniversary, went by quietly. Amanda made a nice dinner (she always thinks about this anniversary a little more than me, I think) and we had a little sparkling wine to celebrate. It really is something worth celebrating.

Anyway, I'm planning on doing one final blog post in the next couple of days, and that's going to be it for me. Hope some people had as much fun with all this as I did.
