The Big 2

SO Luke turned 2 on August 11th (or, as Luke says when asked how old he is: "moo", while holding up 4 fingers and trying with all his might to keep 2 of them down!). We invited Luke's best friends (Stephen, Emily, and Lizzie- Kerry and Thien's 3 kids that Luke considers his adopted brother and sisters) and a few other friends over for a barbeque and let the kids have water/sprinkler fun in the backyard. Luke loved opening his presents and received his first Thomas the Train, which has openned up a whole new world to him! As usual, he refused his birthday cake. We put a car on it to get him excited, which he was... he tried to blow out the candle, grabbed the car, and pushed the cake away to get back to the more exciting business of his new toys. Who am I to push sweets on a child who won't eat them? (And whose child Is this anyway?!!)

As usual, we hardly took any pictures on his birthday, but here is one of him attempting to blow out the candles on his cake:
