#ThrowbackThursday #tbt: The Number Two Son

May 15, 2014 By Lena

In 2014, I will be participating in #tbt courtesy of the Epson Expression Premium XP-810 Small–in–One printer, the ultimate choice for scanning and printing. Ultra powerful and ultra slim, it produces stunning borderless photos and documents quickly and affordably. Featuring the ultimate in wireless printing, the XP-810 makes it easier than ever to print from your iPad, iPhone, tablet or smartphone, whether in your home or out and about.

reidRemember last week’s #tbt, honoring Ryder’s birthday? Well, two years and eleven days later, we welcomed our number two son (as we fondly refer to him). Yes, it’s time to celebrate Reid’s 4th birthday!

(Fun fact: I actually had the same due date with both boys: May 25th. Factoring in a missed period and counting back nine months, it appears that my husband and I were very fond of Labour Day weekends.)

Reid, pictured here at age two, is famous for stealing food. He’ll take a french fry from your plate when you turn around; help himself to a handful of blueberries as he strolls by; will swipe daddy’s special chocolate from the pantry after he carefully climbs on the counter top. And here, in a photo I originally captioned “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Smoothie” – he crawled behind the kitchen island and feverishly began draining my fruit smoothie.

But seriously, what the heck am I supposed to say when he looks up at me like that?

Happy Birthday Reid!

    So adorable ! No, you can’t stay mad with a face like that (but you do have to turn around and hide the giggles).
    A very happy 4th birthday to Reid :) Oh my – JK in September for him ;)

    • Lena

      June 1, 2014 at 9:44 am

      YES! Though I’m worried about that – I feel like he’d have a mind of his own :)

    Too funny! “very fond of Labour Day weekends.” I would also love to try the Epson Expression Premium XP-810 Small–in–One printer, as my current one will not connect wirelessly to anything!

    • Lena

      June 1, 2014 at 9:54 am

      Oh no! You definitely need an upgrade, Christy!
