Happy Birthday, Lucas!

Our early Christmas present turns 2 today! As I look back at pictures from the past 2 years, I can't believe how much he has changed. Now we have a little boy instead of a baby boy. We still think he is wonderful despite the challenges that have started as a result of being a toddler. He has made us enjoy life in a whole new way as we watch him discover new things. He and Lillian play well together and she is a very good big sister.
