Yesterday was Will’s birthday.  He is now 2 years old.   Some people call two year olds terrible as in the terrible twos mainly because they are so willful, but when you are around our Will, you just feel wonderful all the time.  When Will was born and I was holding him,  I remember thinking that I just couldn’t get enough of him.  Now that he is two you can see already in his character that he is just full of life,  exercises 24 hours a day, has a huge bright smile, enjoys life to the max, and can never get enough activity, and laughs easily and plentiful.     He is definitely a role model for me and I am very grateful that he is a part of our family.

He had what I think is probably the perfect birthday a two year could have.   We all went to Trout Lake in Vancouver on a beautiful afternoon around 26 C., swam and played in the sand for a couple of hours, followed by big portions of sushi from Samurai Sushi,  played on the playground and of course had grandma’s carrot cake with ice cream.    Here are some shots of the party.

That is Will with his cousins opening up “My Big Truck Book”.  He is so excited about trucks and backhoes that it is about the only time he stops to really watch things for a long time.
