Happy Birthday Nicholas!

Where did the time go? I have a 3-year-old running around my house! Can you believe how tiny he was when we brought him home?


I can, however, believe that today is his birthday. Nicholas has been very aware of the fact that his birthday was coming. He's been talking about it for the past several weeks. It's been pretty funny, too. He'll wake up from his nap and say something like "On my birthday, I get cake, and presents, and gift cards!"

OK, the cake and presents I understand . . . but WHERE did he learn the term "gift cards"??? They grow up way too fast.

Today, Nicholas got an extra-special present from Mother Nature. Take a look at the video to find out what it was.




Well, . . . you'll just have to trust me that for about an hour this morning, it snowed really hard. It just wasn't cold enough to stick. We had flurries on & off until about 1pm.

At lunchtime, we had an impromptu party. Mark & Shelley, our special neighbors, dropped by to wish Nick a happy birthday. Luckily, I had picked up some cupcakes (with snowmen & snowflakes, in honor of the weather). Nick had a great time being the center of attention.



Tomorrow is the family celebration!

That baby picture is so sweet! They do grow up TOO fast. Why does it have to be that way?

Casey's words are so true! Not only did Nick celebrate his 3rd Birthday, but it was also your anniversary of becoming a Mommy.

Congratulations! I can't believe how big (and adorable) he is!!

I LOVE the candle-blowing picture! In just the less-than-a-year that I've known you two, I can't believe how much he has grown, and how his face has changed!
