The title says it all. He’s two! Congrats, little dude.
We would also like to thank everyone for coming for his birthday party last week. Everyone here had a great time!

Zachary's Now Two

Three. Already.
Dad
So hard to believe it, but Benjamin’s three already. It’s just insane how fast time is flying!
He really is a fantastic kid. We’re so very proud of him and how nice a job he’s doing growing up, even if it seems like it’s all moving way too fast. He’s a great son and an awesome big brother.
If you’re at all interested in a shot from his past, here’s a post from his very first birthday that includes a pretty cute picture of him:
We’ll have some three-year portraits here to look at, soon, so keep an eye out for those.
Benjamin’s transformation so far has been amazing, and continues to be amazing. And not just the changes in him, but also the changes in us as adults and parents; Stacey and I have also really grown tremendously since he was born; it seems like he teaches us as much as we teach him. And it all feels very, very right.
Love you, buddy!

One For Zachary
Stacey and Alex
Congratulations, little guy! Happy First Birthday!It’s been a really interesting year this past year having a second child. Mostly, it’s been challenging, trying to wrangle two boys instead of one. It’s really not even close to twice the work… it’s more like four times the work. It’s important to understand, though, that it’s been totally, totally worth all of it.
Zachary is an amazing, expressive boy. Smiles and laughs all the time. Really easy-going and mellow. He’s not yet walking (which Benjamin had been doing for a couple months or so at this point in his life), but he’s cruising, standing a lot, and definitely wants to walk. He’s getting there, and it likely won’t be long at all.
Not much else to say, really. Zachary’s a great kid, and we’re really happy we have him. Benjamin loves him to death, and Zachary certainly loves his big brother. We couldn’t be happier or more proud of them both.
Party on Saturday Sunday!
Update: The party was a great success! Thanks everyone for coming, sending cards, calling, etc. We really appreciate it!

Benjamin At Two - Pictures!
Stacey and Alex
Proofs from Benjamin’s 2-year birthday pictures! Since they’re just proofs, they’re not large nor very high-resolution. You can click them to get slightly larger sizes.
Zachary (roughly 5 months old here) is naturally in some of them. We went to a Target photo studio near us; the woman there was rumored to be terrific…and she was. We were very impressed with her ability to capture great facial expressions and the natural look and feel of Benjamin.
We didn’t order all of these poses, of course. If you see one you really like, though, let us know!

Party postponed, everyone sick as dogs
Dad
That really says it all. Everyone’s sick with cold or flu or both, who knows. It’s terrible. Had a rash scare with Zachary that turned out not to be what they thought it might be (ITP). Birthday pics for Benjamin were rescheduled, too.
Rough week. Looking to reschedule party to a date a couple weeks from now. More on that when we figure it out…

Sick Kids!
Stacey and Alex
For now, Benjamin’s party this weekend is still a ‘go’, but neither of the little ones are feeling well at all.
Croup for Benjamin for sure, and a cold for Zachary as well (along with Zachary’s ‘mystery rash’). They both seem pretty miserable, and Dad’s not much better. Not much the pediatrician could do for them, either.
We had planned to get some pictures done this week, but that’s been rescheduled for now.
If the party date/time changes, we’ll certainly let you know, but for now, that, at least, is still on schedule. Hopefully they’ll be cleared up by then.
