We woke up early this morning (perhaps with a little coaxing from me...) to give Nick his present. He loves play kitchens and I couldn't wait to see his reaction!
This afternoon we went to his 3 year old well-child check up and he did great. His weight and height are still both in the 97% and he's developing in every way right on track.
Tonight we had Nick's 2 favorite friends, Morgan and Russ (and their wonderful families), over for dinner, FHE, and cake and ice cream. I asked Brad to take pictures of Nick blowing out his candles and this is what I ended up with: Remind me to delegate that job to someone else in the future
Wonderful Russ, birthday-boy Nick, and beautiful Morgan at the end of our party.
Every year (yes, all three of them) I go and hold a sleeping Nick at the exact moment he came into my life on October 6th, 2005. And every time, I cry. This boy turned our lives upside down and taught us not only what it really means to love, sacrifice, worry, and give; but also what it really means to be loved, be needed, and be filled with complete and utter J O Y. I can't imagine my life without this little man and his brother, but I know that I am extremely blessed. Happy Birthday, Nick!

Wish I could have been there! He's getting too big. Tell him to stop please.
How fun! It really is weird to have a three year old huh?!? I'm always amazed when I stop and think about that, and it's crazy. Life is great with 3 year olds though, lol.

Three years old? Where does the time go? What a wonderful gift to hold your sweet boy at the exact moment of his birth. Please tell me that you will do that every year. :)
BeKaH! I can't believe that Nick is already 3 years old! Time flies so fast. Happy Birthday Nick! Glad to see that all is well. ~Melanie Walton
