That’s right! Our big boy Shepherd turns T-W-O today! All 21 pounds of him 😉 We will be having a mini-celebration tonight (think lots of tone-deaf singing and a candle in a Snickers bar) and the big party will be saved for this weekend, when we can really do justice to his big day. We are also hoping our new video camera will arrive in time for the celebration. Ours broke in China, right in the middle of our trip, the minute we walked out of Shepherd’s orphanage. We have been too cheap waiting for the perfect time to buy a replacement, and we finally bit the bullet and coughed up the dough for a high falutin new one. We don’t want to miss our little guy’s big day or his first steps (on his new feet ;)) which we, technically, already did since he took his first steps a few days ago… yeah Shepherd!!!… but better late than never, eh?
So look for pictures and an update on what our little man is up to soon 🙂

Happy Birthday, big boy! Can’t wait to see pictures of your big day 🙂
