Birthday Gifts

We thank the Lord for the precious little boy He gave us on January 25, 2005! What a joy Daniel is to us! He's very affectionate and is a real "people person," always happy to greet anyone. And though he certainly is a little troublemaker, at least he's quick to say "Sorr" when he's been bad. :) Here he is with his big brother "Tee."
Daniel can pronounce many other names properly, but for some reason he's always had trouble with saying Timmy's name!
He now can also say, "I two! " and "Appy (Birth)day!" and
"The Lord is my shepherd." (not perfectly though!) He had fun talking to his cousin Heidi on the phone yesterday evening, wishing her a happy birthday and answering "Yeah" to her questions.
Daniel's favourite present was the magnetic car which he's holding in yesterday's birthday picture - he played with it most of the day!
His other gift, these "Lincoln Logs," were enjoyed more by his older siblings -- especially Andrew, who has not stopped playing with them since yesterday morning! (except to eat, play with the amazing magnetic cars a bit, go to co-op, & sleep, of course!)

But Daniel loves his horse & "cowboy" which came with the log set.

Andrew has designed many different buildings already, especially since Daniel keeps knocking down whatever he's just finished!
