Birthday boy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
HENRY!
We cannot believe you are 2!

Where does the time go?
You are so much fun!
You get into everything, which is fun for you,
but is the exact opposite of fun for the rest of us!
You have passed Jameson, and Layla in the dust,
but still haven't even come close to causing the chaos that Logan could contrive!
Don't feel bad, Logan is a genious, and the fact that you came in second is saying something.
You are our only SOOTHER(binky) kid, and you ask for it like this-
Henry- "Mom, Mum, A Soo! A Soo! MuM, A Soo! MO-om! A SOOOOOO!"
You love food.
You love to snuggle.
You are a mommas baby, and I love it.
You like to play Tea Party with Lays and me. We won't let you play with the breakable ones, and you are always trying to steal them from us. You copy everything we do. You even do the "CLINK" part.
It's so cute!
You snore when you sleep, it's adoreable!
You are obsessed with Dora!
Henry- "Mom, Mom, a Dowa!"

We love you so much, and can't believe what a miracle you are!
Although it's hard for us,
 not knowing what the future holds,
and wishing you didn't have to deal with all you do,
you teach us to be grateful that you are doing well today.
After all,TODAY is all we have.
"One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us — to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic.”

Elder Perry
Oct, 2008

Your Dad had me read this news article, and this was the final quote from Elder Perry. I instantly thought of you, and how I want to help you grow up knowing the truthfulness of this quote from an apostle of the Lord.
I know the future might be difficult for you. I wish I could take it all away, but I know our Heavenly Father can see past our wants, and desires, and does what's best for us.
We'll be there for you, whatever that entails.
 Love you baby!
