I know I’ve made posts but where have they gone?

A little over three and half years ago we didn’t know if you would be here with us today. I may complain that I need some quiet time and I know I shouldn’t because I am so thankful that you are here with us. You make me jump by sneaking up on me, you make my heart melt when you say mom I love you, or I missed you, you make me smile when I see you learning new things or sharing with your sisters.

I am so proud of you today on your frist day of Preschool. I wasn’t sure you were going to make it. The day before you were running a 102.6 temp and by this morning it was gone. The doc said you could go to school. The girls were excited to see you after school and ask you if you had fun. They kept saying how quite it was in the car without you. You said at school you went on a bear hunt, had recess outside, made a craft, and had snack. You were tired when you got home and I took your temp and your fever was back to 99.9.

We’ve had a great summer which included a lot of camping and swimming. A trip to Calamus, the Stuhr Museum, Indian Cave State Park, transplant reunion, and Spalding. You went to camp at the Racquet Club and had a blast.

You love jumping into the water on your own and love taking baths and putting your whole head under.

You talk about Christa’s baby a lot. Your dad made a comment the other day that made us all think. You and the baby will share some DNA. You have a lot of questions about God, your cat Grizzy dying and babies and where do they come from.

Last week we put a family computer in your bedroom and you are still excited about it. You like playing games on it. You love to play swordfighting on the WII resort and other games.

You like to play board games, paint, play-doh and ride your scooter and bike.

You love it when you get to go out and see if the tomatos are done in the garden.

You bring so much joy to our family!

As much as I don’t want to see my baby grow up I am happy for you. I am thankful for the many years of fun we’ve had and will have together. I love you bunches my little love bug!
