so fast

People ALWAYS tell you as a young mother, "Enjoy it while you can, they grow so fast!" and boy are they right! 


We celebrated Grey's THIRD birthday on Tuesday. Three years old. Seriously? I feel like this

and this

happened last week! no no, actually it was three years ago. Now I know that was not TOO terribly long ago but to see Grey's newborn pictures, and see him now

I am flooded with emotion. I know that this will most likely happen EVERY SINGLE BIRTHDAY but it's real. 

We had a fabulous day celebrating the life that God gave us. Grey is thrilled he is three now. It's only 2 away from 5, which he can't wait to get to. My guess is because it's a whole handful of fingers instead of just a few to hold up when someone asks how old he is. 

We celebrated in all kind of ways and if you would like to see some pictures, just click on that. I will not attempt to upload them to the blog. 

We still have a little celebrating left this weekend which of course is the way i like to do birthdays, LONG AND DRAWN OUT. At least a week celebration. 

Matthew and I decided to give Grey a fishing pole which he has slept with, read books to, and played with non-stop. Good investment. His other favorite gift was a video that Maddie and Tyson made for him. He has requested to watch it approximately 12 billion times and has it memorized. It's the little things. 

Here's to another year of Grey Bear growing in stature and hopefully his heart will only become more tender to the gospel. That is my prayer for his life this year.
