Happy 3rd Birthday Brother

 Happy 3rd Birthday Mister, Buddy, Brother...

Yep - he survived! He made it to 3 (ha,ha,ha...)  

We are choosing to call the this next year the "Terrific Three's" instead of what I have heard from most parents of boys in their 3's. I'm sure we'll have our phases of good and bad choices... no matter what - this little man cracks me up.  He gives the deepest, most heart felt hugs and then will pull away and make some crazy face and sound.  He's perfected the art of annoying his sister and yet can be her best friend 5 seconds later.  He still loves to snuggle after a nap and pancakes are his favorite food. 

In fact, we had some friends over for a pancakes, sausage links and fruit salad for dinner tonight. Along with presents and cupcakes of course!  The kids all had a great time playing, while the adults enjoyed each others company and March Madness of course! (Wisconsin in the Final 4 -YAHOO!!)

Brother loved his cupcake

and Mama and Papa loved an easy bedtime - he was so tired.  He did such a great job of sharing his new toys and just had a great time with friends.  

In other news... sorry we missed a few weeks...

This was Sister and I after spring break.  We came down with a stomach bug and missed going back to school for a few days.  It was a bummer too, because our friend from Cordova was visiting. Thankfully she did not end up sick and the sickies didn't last long.

And we were back to enjoying this amazing spring we are having!!  

 As we enter Holy Week - I can't help to be so thankful for the many blessings in my life.  I pray and hope that each of you are able to find something to celebrate each and every day. 

~ Much Love ~
