....IAN'S 2nd BIRTHDAY!!!

Those of you who journeyed with me through the whole adoption process, can you believe Ian is 2 already?!  Time sure does fly when you're having fun!

I didn't have time to blog about him yesterday.  We had a weekend-long youth retreat at our church;  so we were busy with that all weekend.  Yesterday afternoon, we took Crystal's girls back home and had to run a few errands.  Due to the busy weekend, we had decided to postpone Ian's birthday celebration until next weekend~ his party will be on Saturday (the 26th). 

We did give him his gifts last night.  We got him a Little Touch Leap Pad system and 2 books.  Thanks to my friend Isabelle for sharing a coupon code and a great sale at Leap Frog, we got a fantastic deal on all of this.  And Ian loves it!  Let's face it, the child loves anything that makes noise!  And the fact that this has a volume control makes it 10 times more appealing to him!  LOL

My parents got him a wagon full of Mega blocks and some cute clothes- Cars swimming trunks (which Ian has been eyeing up at Wal-mart for weeks!), a Cars t-shirt, a pair of khaki shorts, and an orange t-shirt that says "my parents are exhausted"!  (that just pretty much sums it up, huh?!)

Today he got a package in the mail from my friend Charity.  She sent him a cute sippy cup from the Disney store and a precious little dress shirt (yes, they're both Cars too!)  Ian is Lightning McQueen's biggest fan!  LOL

I'll share pictures after the party.

Happy 2nd Birthday to the cutest little boy ever! I can't believe how old he is! Of course, I also can't believe that my little "E" (we don't like to wear ourselves out pronouncing both syllables! lol) isn't too far behind; just a little more than three months until he turns 2!

You know I can't wait to see pictures! Give him a little squeeze for me. :)

Happy Birthday Ian! I can't believe you are 2. I remember when your mom posted your referral picture... I remember how excited she was to travel to Vietnam to get you. I even sent a square for your quilt.

My I have been blogging for a long, long time!

BTW, there is a congressional investigation into why I haven't been able to get a visa for the kids. They have had their passports since December. I know the US Consulate is going to blame the food riots in Haiti. Truthfully, the kids should have been out of their long before the first week on April. But, perhaps, the investigation will put a flame under someone's seat... :o)

Yeah! - So glad that "Little Ian" - as my kids call him - with Ali's son being "Big Ian" - (in the world of TGR) received his package. The kids and I had so much fun shopping for him at The Disney Store. --- It also once again - made us want to go back!!! --- We can't wait to see pictures from his party! - Charity

A Belated Happy Birthday to Ian. Can't wait to see pictures. The time does go fast, doesn't it? Why can't it go that fast during the adoption?
