Joseph is 2!!!

This cake has been nothing but trouble, first I smudge the writing seconds after finishing it and then I can't post the picture in the right direction. A fitting display, I suppose. Anyway, our baby Joe turned 2 on April 22. When your third child turns two (well, when ours does anyway) there's not a lot of hoopla. We invited the cousins over for a celebratory lunch on the Saturday beforehand (which was only different from a usual afternoon with them in that it had cake and a present). On his actually birthday we just had more of the same cake and some more presents. Despite it's simplicity, he loved it! We celebrated a few other birthday shortly thereafter and he seemed truly disappointed that all the fuss wasn't for him anymore!

He's our curly-haired doll! Lovable and charming, but also mischievous! He loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses. He also loves to rough-house. Flopping around on Mark's bed is a favorite activity. He repeats everything. He eats everything. He makes friends wherever we go, usually sparked by his hair and winning smile. His brother and sister adore him and want everyone they meet to adore him as much as they do. We love you Joseph! Happy 2nd Birthday!
