TWO Years!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Vinnie!  Jon and I were talking today, if you want time to fly...have kids!  We just cannot believe how quickly the last two years have passed.  And we have loved every moment!  To celebrate Vinnie's birthday we traveled to the Niabi Zoo in the Quad Cities and enjoyed lunch by the Mississippi River.  This was the THIRD zoo Vinnie has visited in the last year, and he enjoyed all the animals.  We even saw some animals for the first time...like elephants and a bald eagle!  We head to the doctor tomorrow for Vinnie's 2 year well visit...I'm anxious to see how much he has grown!  Surprisingly it has been quite a while since we visited the doctors office...and we are happy to be returning healthy and well! 

We will travel to Minnesota next weekend to celebrate Vinnie's birthday with family and friends in a joint party with Vinnie's birthday buddy Olivia.  We will post a slew of pictures after that.  But...to hold you over until then, I am including the second annual Birthday Video for Vinnie below.  Thanks to some professional development, I have gotten pretty savvy at iMovie over the last year, and have even managed to include some video from Vinnie's second year of life...including his first steps!

Thank you to every friend and family who has made our transition to parenthood smooth and enjoyable.  We all feel so blessed to have such supportive people around us who love us and are willing to travel to be a part of Vinnie's life.
