Brooks is 2 today!!

Happy happy birthday to our little Brooksy Magucksy!! Brooks was born at 5:19pm on July 20, 2005. He screamed for about the first 3 months of his life and still has quite a set of lungs! He is a sweet boy though who loves to cuddle and is very good at finding cuddly little spots. Brooks always says thank you and gives the best hugs, kisses, and "squeezes" around. We are having a pirate birthday today but just with our family. Aiden, ever the party animal, can't understand it, but I think Brooks prefers the low key thing. Since they woke up at 5am with Lewis today, we are going to have a pirate nap after a SPECIAL lunch at McDonald's!! Lucky lucky. We had a treasure hunt this morning and the kids made a pirate ship out of a box, we still have a few around. Now they are watching Dora's Pirate Adventure, mostly to break up the sword fighting and walking the plank that was going on. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful little boy in my life. There is nothing like hearing him say "I you, mommy!"
