Happy.

Sean's second birthday was maybe the most magical day he's ever experience.  Since he doesn't really know what birthdays are yet, so he didn't know what hit him and it took a few days to explain we don't have cake and presents every day.  Here are a few shots of the day:

It started with cake for breakfast (coffee cake, but with candles) on a boat on the lake in the mountains.  Some of Sean's favorite things combined in one.

Next was swimming with dad-- so fun.  Aren't they both handsome?

Mommy and Jamesie were on the boat too...along with GG, Dada Meg and Tim. 

Home from the boat, it was time for presents... a huge pile of them (mostly from GG and Dada :))!

The presents turned out to be sean's favorite things in the world... Baskee-ball (above), a Bee-ball (baseball) Tee, a tunnel to crawl through, a tennis-ball-catching game, a swing-- are you getting the theme here-- sport and movement!  Our boy is all boy and loves any kind of sport.  He also got new crayons and markers and a horse backpack to keep them in, which he carried around all weekend (and all week-- bringing it to the doctor's office with us a few days ago!)

Next GG gave everyone bubbles and Sean just thought he went to heaven.  His favorite people blowing bubbles with him for hours in the yard .  Life could not get better.  

Then, we introduced Sean to sparklers, fireworks and snakes.  Oh my, he could have kept going with the snakes all day and all night. Just look at that face!

The absolutely sweetest moment of the day came when Cody and I gave him our gift of a baseball glove and baseball.  Sean loves watching baseball and comes to our law-league softball games every week, so he sees other people using gloves and catching balls.  When we showed him how to put it on and catch a ball he just stood amidst all the presents and wrapping paper and said softly (almost to himself), "Happy."
