Look who's 3!!!!!!!


Well, my little baby boy is officially no longer a baby. I've been feeling a bit blue today realizing a stage of our life is fading into the past and a new one is taking it's place. But more than anything, my little man brings more smiles, joy and laughter to my day than I could ever have imagined. We went to Target for some groceries tonight and I kept telling him that 3 yrs. ago we were in the hospital meeting for the first time. He just looked at me like, huh? On the way home I told him I loved him so much and he says, "love you,too, Mom..." Melt my heart!
BTW- I will be posting late tonight or tomorrow a slide show a synopsis of our Christmas vacation and trip to Disney-check it out when you can!

Happy Birthday Zeke! Auntie Kelley loves you! I thought about him all day. I kept thinking, "I need to call and say Happy Birthday", but I was traveling part of the day and just didn't get it done. I'm sorry. I can't wait to see your pictures from your trip. Bet it was lots of fun. I love you all!

I am coming to the same realizations...Gabriel is 2 yrs and 2 months...and I doubt I will ever get my girl...despite that, I am blessed, as are you! I enjoyed both entries! It seems a little unfair that you got to go to FL on Christmas! :) HA! You look beautiful and it looks like you had a great time with family!

Happy 2007!

I'm sorry, but Holly, you're hair is RED! I love it! I'm sorry if I'm totally out of touch and I wasn't paying attention! :)

I'm with you Jenn...but I do like the red, Holly - it's quite sassy!!

Great family pictures - love to see the smiles. It's fun when smiles begin to creep back into our lives after deep sorrow. I guess that's what the combo of God and family do, eh?

K- now I'm the last one to comment.
I can't believe how much time has passed.
It seems like just yesterday you were at my house in MI and Jason spilled an entire bottle on my new couch pillow....mmmmm, those were the days!
