Our little Judo is 2 years old! (He’s showing you with his fingers:) He celebrated his actual birthday with my parents, going out to dinner and opening a few special gifts, and then we celebrated again the day we got home from China.

Grandpa and Mimaw (his name for my Mum:) and Jude made a special birthday cake to celebrate- a train cake! Jude is really into trains right now so we had Thomas the train napkins, balloons, etc. and the cake was too cute!

Jude was quite taken with his train cake…

One of his gifts from my parents- a ‘big boy bike’!

Trying on his panda backpack from China…

We love you Judo!

We were so excited to see Jude on Saturday morning after our 2 weeks in China. He had an amazing time with my parents and seems even more lively and gigglier than ever, with lots of new words and phrases. We are so grateful that my parents took such loving care of him and so glad he did so well. He asked about us the first few days and then when he would play with his cars he’d make them drive to China!:) He had lots of special time with my parents as well as my grandparents and his cousins while we were away.
We’ll be posting pictures & stories of our China adventure soon…
