Two Years and Counting....



Erik Blaine Johnson Jr. is now two years old. I can't even believe it, but not in the tired way that everone says how time flies. For me it feels like two things in one. Part of me feels like he has been in my heart my whole life, even before he was concieved or I even knew his dad. The other part feels like I can't belive I ever lived a day without him. Like looking back on the days before he came into our lives seemed so sad and empty. He has been an amazing blessing to me. Seeing how he was made, how he grows, and how he learns just proves to how amazing God is.

My good friend Penny is a photographer in the making, so she offered to take picture of Erik for his second birthday. We had her eldest son, Rowen come along to offer some great entertainment for Erik Jr. hoping we could catch some good smiles. Quickly we both realized that they both move way to fast. =) So here are some beautiful shots she created, and then we hope to try again soon.

Enjoy!

Bethany,

You so eloquently placed a mothers words on the page. It's as if I were reading my own thoughts about my son. You captured the feelings beautifully.

Congrats on your beautiful boy!

He looks so grown up, especially with the new "big boy" hair cut. What a cutie!

I can't even believe how grown up he looks! God is good, there is no doubt about that! What a miracle it is that he places these little souls in our care...it's the most important job we will have in life. Happy 2nd Birthday Erik J!
