Jude is 2.

Little Jude turned 2 today. As I listened to the Canada Day fireworks last night (from bed...too tired to watch) I remembered 2 years ago when we watched them from the hospital window waiting for Jude to pop out. I wondered what was our little boy going to be like, was he going to funny, or funny-looking? Would he have daddy's curly hair and big smile? Would he like to colour with crayons with mommy? Could he endure the endless hugs and kisses from mom?

As it turns out, he does not have curly hair but a great smile, he's pretty funny, likes to colour and will endure occasional hugging and kissings fests from mom. He's growing up to be one great kid. Happy Birthday Jude!

Here are a few pics from the birthday party on Sunday.
Jude tried to put the candles out with his fingers first.

Here's Jude (and Gramma Annie) blowing out the candles on his birthday cake.

And finally, enjoying cake while opening presents. It doesn't get much better than that.

Thanks to everyone that sent cards, presents and birthday wishes. Jude LOVED them all.
